Mill Creek is a fantastic school. My child is an advanced reader, but struggles in math. All of his teachers have worked with him on his individual strengths and weaknesses. He was reading chapter books at home and there weren't any in the classroom, so his teacher went out of her way to direct him
Posted by a parent on 9/13/2016We moved from one of the "best" known school districts in Boston area to Columbia due to work. My daughter had some speech challenges and needed speech therapy. In Boston, I felt the need to sit and work with my daughter daily so that she does well. She would bring a lot of unfinished work(not homew
Posted by a parent on 3/24/2016My children have been attending this school for three years. Having experience teaching in east coast and west coast schools, I believe Mill Creek ranks among the best. We have been fortunate to have been in average sized classes with outstanding teachers. My children are excelling beyond the curric
Posted by a parent on 6/9/2014And I strongly disagree with looking into private schools in town, the only one worth looking into at all is Columbia Independent School. Curriculum at others is pathetic and they only have a good reputations because the students that go there have highly involved parents (which research has proven
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2014Columbia is very proud of their school district, but it has serious problems with drugs, a poor graduation rate, and kids with entitlement issues. There have been rumors that new teacher hires are selected from the "middle of the pack," as these teachers are thankful to have jobs and will not "rock

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two children who attend school here. I have had one negative experience with my youngest's first teacher. I tried to address it but it sounds like the school knows and thats just her. Other than that this school has been awesome. They do so many hands on activities to really encourage a love for learning. Minus that one teacher and a couple of the specials teachers, I have had a great experience with them. My kids are always so excited to go!Parent Review3y ago - Rock Bridge Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDr. Ryan Link and his team are exceptional and cultivate a warm and welcoming environment where learning and social development are balanced. There are so many amazing teachers! Mrs. McGinty is exceptional and has a knack for 5th graders that completely changed the trajectory of my childs educational desires. Mrs. Godier, Williamson, Denninghoff, Howard and Koonse are all kind and caring and really connect with the students. Field day, the sock hop and 5th grade graduation celebration were above and beyond and will be remembered by my kiddos forever.Parent Review2y ago - Russell Blvd. Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy family has had an absolutely amazing experience so far at Bright Start. We moved here from another center when my child turned 3 and have been extremely happy with the change. Being my first child, I am pretty over protective and was nervous about making the move. But I am so glad we did. This is a preschool with a real curriculum and teachers who are actually teaching my son not just a babysitter like most centers. My favorite thing is they are so open about what is going on during the day and not trying to hide things from parents. We are able to view the cameras if we have any questions or concerns which was very impressive to me. We are also given lesson plans and the curriculum and they post pictures and write ups of fun things that happened that day. It makes me feel at ease that I am not there all day with him. And major plus----it is fairly cheap compared to other schools in the area! I would strongly encourage parents to at least check out Bright Start Academy for preschool!Parent Review11y ago - La Petite Ecole
