My son has been there since kindergarten and is now in 5th grade. The teachers and staff and the principle have all done a great job. I think 5th graders should have more challenging homework.

Learning/Teaching: [2] Kids here are more interested in what material the ceiling is made out of than the actual class material. The only classes where I saw REAL active participation were with teachers you could tell love their job. Of course, everyone learns/feels about school differently, but I and many others in my class didn't find any motivation in classes were teachers weren't being active in your schoolwork. Class often felt more like get togethers, and if there was a class policy against talking during lessons, then everyone would most likely be on their phones. No books around these parts. Oh, and if you take AP courses, do NOT take AP English senior year. Unless you're white/white passing... good luck! You're better off in the normal English. Homework is okay. Depending on the courses you take, you either get a lot or you get very little. Most teachers are willing to answer questions if you ask them and there is a tutoring centre where students help other students. In my opinion, it's a lot better to study there than in the library.Social-Emotional Support: [1] If you need mental health support, look for a therapist outside of school. Do not confide in teachers or counsellors. They are supposed to report any instance/hint of you struggling *too hard*, if you know what I mean. Counsellors are only good for schedule changes and talks about classes. Nothing else.Safety: [2] In my time, there was like... 3 (?) incidents concerning the safety of students. You know, the usual threats. But nothing ever happened. Obviously there were fights between students, but those are a staple of school you just can't really get rid of, and no one gets seriously hurt. If they do, 9/10 it's off of school grounds. Discrimination, however, is pretty... noticeable. Especially towards Latinos.Family Engagement: [1] If you want serious family engagement, parents have to be involved. It's one of those instances where you get out what you put in.Disability/Special Ed: [3/Neutral] I don't have any experience with this area. All I know is that I didn't like how the school made those kids the "trash picker-uppers". Maybe they find it helpful, but I find it rather demeaning that it's this specific group. It's a little... questionable. Disability friendly though. There is an elevator and tons of ramps around the school.Overall, it's an alright school. You just have to know when to stand up for yourself and really put in effort.

Amazing my daughter is special needs and the program was awesome the teachers were by her side every step helping her to succeed in anything she washed to do. Helping her learn to cook, helping her count money and talk time also teaching her how to talk out her feelings instead of just shutting down and not taking for periods of time. They made her feel like a human being who belonged and she built grievance she still has even after graduating. Her teachers are still actively caring about her life and things she's into they have kept in touchand seen her through ballet shows, graduations, and also sports games that they got her to start playing. Thank you to the teachers at Creighton yall are incredible!!
