Deer Creek Elementary School

We are so grateful to have found Forest Charter, it is truly what education should feel like for both students and parents! No matter what our needs are, the school meets our children where they are rather than forcing them to change to meet the school where it is. Whether it has been learning differences that presented difficulties or excelling in certain areas and needing more challenging material, Forest Charter always had the heartbeat of what our two students needed. It is never a perfunctory conversation that is rushed at an Open House, but teachers and administrators are consistently initiating and receptive to dialogue about what students need. This is not done on an annual basis, but on a regular basis and based on what they are observing or what I as a parent broach for discussion. We make a plan together and then as students, they have buy in. Being part of the team, instead of being talked down to, really gives them an investment in their learning that has resulted in results that we never thought possible. Thank you, Forest Charter, for restoring the love of learning! Both our boys thank us regularly for finding them such an amazing school!

We've been with this school for almost 4 years now. It feels like home away from home. The community in this school is amazing. I can teach my boys the way they need to be taught and the teachers are always willing to help with ideas when needed.

great gay bar !! though there is a lack of gay people

We are very happy with our experience at Grass Valley Charter. The community is wonderful and we love the staff and families here. I'm a big fan of the expeditionary learning model that gets them out of the classroom doing some really amazing things. Our kids are thriving and we highly recommend it.

My son attended ERCS from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Besides high academic standards, personal development and spiritual growth were and are strongly encouraged and supported. He was well prepared for high school and had much more individual attention throughout his years there than he would have had at a bigger school. Parents are also encouraged to volunteer, which gives you an inside view of the interactions between students and teachers. Investing in quality education is well worth it!
