Read what parents are saying about First Creek Middle SchoolTerrible. Ive heard from other parents that the vice principal has talked down about my daughter to other students and parents.
Posted by a parent on 1/29/2020This is the worst school I have gone to, seems as though lots of Tacoma schools are this bad. I’m going to switch to online school.
Posted by a community member on 11/23/2019The main thing this school lacks in my opinion is people who actually care about kids & whether or not they succeed. Half the teachers I've met are decent at best, office staff is very rude to children & parents, counselors are definitely good for nothing, & students are left to "clown" eachother as they please. They also don't have a system to inform parents of anything. No flyers, no calls, no emails, nothing. They don't even inform parents about conferences. They just set days, don't tell anyone, & if you show up that's great, if not, oh well. I've had to deal with counselors & it was very uncomfortable. I couldn't imagine how my student was supposed to turn to these people for comfort or help. Counselors should be top of the line in middle schools since there are so many raw emotions & intense feelings going on with these kids. Even I felt intimidated by these counselors. They were rude, confrontational, didn't listen, & didn't care. If I could redo my child's 8th grade year, she would've never stepped foot on First Creek property. If you have a child in this area, send him/her to Destiny Middle School instead. This school is not worth it.
Posted by a parent on 2/22/2018I went to First Creek for my 6th-8th grade years and the only thing they need to fix is the way they handle bullying situations. Other than that it is a good school to get your child's education

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe special education program is horrible never seen such a high turnover rate in staffing and absolutely no Consistency on the day to day task. Went through 2 different teachers and 5 different teacher aids within 1 year, that says it all! Complete Garbage!Parent Review1y ago - Fawcett

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child is on an IEP. I'm used to advocating for his needs and being disappointed with his educational experience. However, this past year at Fawcett was really my son's best year. He was excited about school and liked all of his teachers. I felt he was getting his needs met and was pleasantly surprised by the special education staff. The only complaint I have, is there was some bullying and unresolved issues with name calling and berating. Also COVID cut our year short but the teachers did a solid job with online instruction.Parent Review3y ago - Lister

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter just started here for 4th grade and she has Mr. Maxwell. So far I am pleased. He is very informative and emails regularly giving updates of what exactly is going on with your children. I love that he applies the "It takes a village" quote because that's truly important in our house (education). I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has to offer us.Parent Review1y ago - Mann

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat, the school focus on academics is wonderful and structure helps the whole school stay on task! A bit of a grey area when it comes to discipline but I think they are doing their best considering the 75% of the entire school being LOW INCOME families..... they have a before and after school program that is used to watch those kids who dont have a safe place to go after school tooThe parent and teacher communication could be a bit better. Maybe have a once a month night meeting for ALL STAFF to come to and talk about issues together and hopefully the communication can help the way they displine and teach all our children as a whole... at HOME and at SCHOOL It takes a village and the villagers need to communicateParent Review4y ago - Blix Elementary School
