First, I think one of the best yardsticks for measuring a school is how much children do or do not want to go. My kids are literally sad when school ends for the summer, so that says a lot about Thornton Creek.This school is outstanding. I grew up in Northville, and this school provides everything I
Posted by a parent on 9/2/2025Our experience at Thornton Creek has been wonderful for our neurotypical child and and absolute nightmare for our neurodivergent child. Our oldest suffers from OCD and anxiety and this school has made her condition worse at every turn. They completely ignore bullying and regularly blame victims when
Posted by a parent on 10/20/2021We have been at thorton Creek for three years, we have truly enjoyed our experience at the school. The interactions with teachers have always been very positive, with daily communication and weekly emails and pictures. I really like their approach to kindness and the “Leader in me” program. I have r
Posted by a parent on 4/18/2019My youngest is currently a student at Thornton Creek. This is my third child to attend Thornton Creek. The school community as a whole works well together: the principal, teachers and parents. The school has a strong PTA and involved parents who support the teachers. I have been very happy and pleas
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2017Disinterested staff, very impersonal and judgemental. Truly lacking any form of arts or anything outside of text books. Teachers and staff have no line of communication with parents and are wholly uninterested in allowing one to be established. A real and true disappointment.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am pretty upset with this 6th grade school . The teachers have zero monitoring compared to 5th grade house. No information about the assignments/tests due for the week is sent to the parent. I am a parent and the teachers in 5th grade house was wonderful. Before my kid came back from bus , I would have information about the different assignments/ test due for the day/week. In 6th grade house, even when we email home room teacher about the upcoming absence no email comes back acknowledging it or if we email about student being absent they say we have no Clue and need to contact the front desk. Not only that, I am being told by the student that the teachers ignore about cussing happening in the corridor by student(s) when teacher is nearby . I am totally unhappy with the teacher I got for 6th grade house and I wish the principal had more control over the staff.Parent Review2y ago - Our Lady of Victory School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVery disappointed in this school. Old authoritarian school environment. Not a supportive environment at all. I have spent thousands of dollars on outside help recommended by this school to support my son, so they will "assist" him. They are doing nothing to help him. They won't even honor their own Accommodation Plan they wrote. I can't even get a response to an email from their "Resource" teacher or administration. Teachers are sporadic in their communication and fearful of administration. Not a healthy environment at all! I would not recommend this school unless you are interested in appearances.Parent Review4y ago - St Pauls Lutheran School
