Riverside Middle School

My daughter and our family absolutely LOVE Brushy Creek and all the staff!! Everyone is kind and inviting. The kids are happy to be learning, teachers happy to be teaching. Brushy Creek is a Great School!

Good luck with this school! We've worked with 4 teacher. All appeared worn down, impatient, defensive, anxious and burned out. Maybe there could work on teacher appreciation and encourage more teacher self-care and change their focus. Teachers here "teach the test." That might be good very temporarily, but good luck when your child hits high school and a decent university, let alone the work place. Jobs these days need creative problem solvers that think for themselves. Office staff are just plain unprofessional-roll their eyes, say inappropriate and share unwanted advice. I heard them gossiping about moms in the back. This school is completely void of joy. Joy is tge basis of all learning. Their little model "leader in me" is based off Steven Covey's 7 habits for kids. Uh, as a social scientist with a Master's from a top university and even math teacher graduate. This theme is developmentally all wrong. Plus they are rigid about it all. I got the impression it's for show. Look at other nearby schools and you'll see better mottos. No, Woodland won't make your child a leader. I've never met a happy person here or even a patient one. Try another school if you can. Oh and it's overcrowded and huge.
