program at this school. You are made to believe that it is a collaborative effort between the parents and administration, but that is only as long as you agree with the administration's decisions. They are more concerned with fitting a special education student into a preset "mold." When that student doesn't fit into the preset molds the district pushes them around from campus to campus rather than utilizing special education services to help the student succeed and takes no interest in working with students' private therapists or psychiatrist. Creekside also needs to be held accountable for how often they restrain students who have disorders where restraints only escalate the issue. Multiple times restraints resulted in bruising and caused psychological damage to a student. The school has also violated several TEA provisions and refuses to accept responsibility. One of which a student was suspended for an action the school could not prove wasn't related to their disability and refused to hold a manifestation determination meeting to prove the suspension was lawful under TEA special education provisions. Creekside sets students up to fail and takes no responsibility when confronted. LISD is failing special education students. Before moving your student here ask how many special education BIC students have been integrated back into mainstream classrooms and how many have been sent to other campuses. I would also highly encourage parents of special education students to know your rights because the school does not get to decide how to educate your child even though they will try. Hire a special education advocate to fight for your child's rights. LISD does not have a good reputation for special education services and I completely understand why. Districts and schools like this one is why special education students get left behind and have a higher dropout rate.

My daughter went to this school for three years. She wasn't ever bullied. The kids seemed well-behaved, respectful, polite at events I went to. Before and after school I saw kids waiting outside and never once saw any problems. Normal kids. The academics were pretty good, especially math. The band program is fantastic and welcomes everyone. The band directors are very dedicated. The choir program is pathetic and understaffed. The athletics are ok especially soccer and track. The basketball coaches, though, seem like they've never played the game. The school has many clubs and activities and tutoring available. There's a bus to take all kids home from afterschool activities. The principal was positive and available. He is an excellent principal. One assistant principal was very heavy-handed and that person's only strategy was to give suspensions. This school has a high percentage of lower income Hispanic children because of the way the attendance zone is drawn to catch several apartment complexes. I wouldn't judge the atmosphere or the overall quality of the school by test scores alone. I think they do a good job of educating each student according to what they need.
