Terrible school that is a glorified kindergarten. This much volunteering for a school that has no PTSA and is second-hand crumbs to the larger school?No proper specialty classes and parents have their cliques.
Posted by a parent on 4/3/2026I can't wait for this year to be over so I can put my daughter back to the school near our house. I am utterly exhausted from the mandatory volunteering needed at Explorer. I have been driving kids to field trips at 10 am! Volunteered for math class at 11 am!

Posted by a parent on 2/12/2026Terrible school, chaos altogether thanks to principal Davis. Just compare school year books and you will see children only stay a year or two.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have two sons in the Middle School program at Bear Creek, and we are so happy with the high quality curriculum and instruction here. The individualized attention and care each student receives is apparent. For example, during our most recent spring parent teacher conferences, every one of my kids' core and specialist teachers had insights into their classroom strengths. They also had wonderful suggestions for growth (i.e. a supplemental challenge math program for my 5th grader, an extracurricular leadership opportunity for my 8th grader, advice for high school coursework, etc.). We couldn't ask for a more nurturing environment to encourage our children to excel academically and as individuals.Parent Review2mo ago - The Bear Creek School
