Thorpe Creek Elementary

Fall Creek Elementary is an excellent school. We moved here from another state and this school has out performed our previous public school (also highly rated) in every way. Not only are the academics stellar, the teachers and staff are so caring and so engaged in the teaching process. Children with an IEP receive the support and services that they need without tons of red tape and long periods of waiting for implementation. I really can't say enough good things about FCE.

We love Brooks School. Our little one had some nerves about leaving Pre-K and starting Kindergarten, but we've had a great transition. Her Kindergarten teacher has reached out to us a few times and we feel very supported. I appreciate that we've heard about both her great days and days where she needed some extra help so we can work together to come up with solutions and routines that work for her. The specials are great and the librarian is so nice - our daughter cannot wait for library day! We are especially pleased with how "life skills" like emotional regulation, making friends and being a kind person are integrated into the classroom in an authentic way. We also were really excited with how diverse the school is - especially given that Fishers is not known for being a diverse community in general. We love the BSE Kindergarten team :)

Principal Theresa Seymour has significantly lowered the staff morale at this school from day one. I have firsthand knowledge of how she has upset PTO parents to the point they have quit. My neighbors have pulled their children from the school because she treats the staff badly. Staff at Fall Creek Elementary, where she was an assistant principal, are relieved she is gone. It’s evident that she prioritizes her image over the well-being of the school. Think twice about this School.

We moved to this area when this school was being built. My son was one of the first Kindergartners. They grossly underestimated the number of kids enrolled and had to put kids in trailers from the first day they opened. After four years of my son and daughter attending this school and seeing the same issues repeatedly, we pulled them for a different district and could not be happier. The admin can barely remember the kids names much less care about them and they do not follow 504's no matter how much go over them with them. We had such high hopes moving here for this beautiful school only to be disappointed four years in a row.
