I had very high expectations for this school and I was on the waiting list until they accepted my son. The school was recommended because they claimed to have the tools and staff to support and work with children with ADHD. Since my son started in September 2025 until now, he has had 6 suspensions for different reasons. I can say that most of them were for defending himself against bullying. When they accepted my son, I tried to talk to someone to explain the degree of ADHD and ODD that my son suffers from, but no one attended to me. Only one of the front staff attended to me very unprofessionally, and she was also attending to other children, I understand that she were not paying much attention to me. My son's grades have significantly dropped since he entered this school, and his self-esteem has also suffered. When I spoke with the principal over the phone, I explained that in my understanding, my son cannot be in a regular classroom because he gets overwhelmed with so much noise, and her response was, "If you are looking for a school with special accommodations and specialized staff for children with ADHD, this is not the school for him." What a response! This school only cares about numbers, not academics. They tried to tell me that my son's problems are intellectual, which is incorrect; his problems are behavioral. In a meeting, they accessed his grades from last year, and they told me that he was doing very well, to which I replied again that my son's problem is not intellectual. They evaded all my questions, and the last thing they told my son was that he was going to repeat the grade because he was not doing anything... The principal and the staff need to be remove,ALLNOF THEM! and put in personnel who truly care about the children and not about the numbers. DO MORE SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL

The need to throw the principal, staff and entire school away. Very unorganized and unprofessional people working there. Turn over rate is high and school super overcrowded. Its almost end it the school year and they still do not have their dismissal process in order its ridiculous. Teachers nor principal get back to you when emailed or requested to speak to them. So not send your children to school here.

Teachers do not care about the students. Staff is rude and not welcoming to students. Students mental health drops significantly after a few months at this school. My son was not helped with his severe ADHD, OCD, Insomnia, and Anger Issues. Teachers and staff do nothing about bullying and mental health.

Not very happy with this school. Some of the staff is rude to the students and the parents. The school only has 2 hallways and somehow has 600 students. There are no good events and field trips are expensive. The cafeteria food is extremely terrible, I highly recommend bring your own lunch. The teachers dont know how to properly discipline the students. There is barely any communication, the list goes onIf you want to send your child here, it is not the right choice

As a concerned and frustrated parent, I cannot express how deeply disappointed I am with my experience at Creekside Charter. It is disheartening to see an institution that claims to prioritize education fall so far short in terms of basic communication, honesty, and security.

One of the most significant issues I've encountered is the complete lack of effective communication from the school staff. It is astonishing that as a parent, I am left in the dark about essential matters related to my child's education. There have been countless instances where important information has not been conveyed promptly, and when I've tried to reach out to the staff for clarification, I've received vague and unsatisfactory responses. This lack of transparency is a disservice to the students and their families.

The level of dishonesty that I've experienced at Creekside Charter is truly disheartening. It is deeply troubling to encounter instances where school administrators and teachers have provided false information, promising things that were not delivered. It is evident that they are more concerned with creating a facade of success than actually providing quality education. This lack of integrity is simply unacceptable.

Perhaps one of the most alarming aspects of my experience is the complete disregard for security at the school. The front desk's casual approach to admitting visitors without proper identification is a major cause for concern. It is vital that a school, as a place of learning and development, prioritizes the safety and security of its students. The fact that anyone can enter the front office without showing identification is a blatant disregard for the well-being of the students.

Creekside Charter is an infuriating rollercoaster of disappointment. I had high hopes for this school, but we have been consistently let down by their lack of communication, deceptive practices, and a lack of concern for the safety of the students. It is disheartening to see a place that should be nurturing the next generation fall so short of its responsibilities. I sincerely hope that the school takes these concerns seriously and works to address these issues for the sake of its students and their families.

Communication is extremely poor. Teachers dont provide updates on what is done in class or what they need to work on even after you reach out asking for support, meaning elementary which is needed. I email teachers and get no reply. I copy the principal with no reply. Zero acknowledgement. I hear from my children that several teachers punish them making them lay thier heads down because she has 0 control over the students and cries all the time saying the students dont respect her and due to this, no learning gets done. Teachers are always absent and the substitute teachers just tell them to go on apps. I mean for days they are absent. One time they had the PE teacher give art for over 3 weeks because there was no art teacher. If you go to the Creekside facebook parent page, you will see numerous parents concerned for their children and numerous teachers mentioned on how poorly they are with Communication and how their children get treated. The principal that was there for a year, was there just to fix the problems if this school to then leave with zero notice. Said he was leaving on a Friday and Monday he was gone. And the school is still the same. No change. Dont understand how its an A school. Its sad our children are not in good hands.

I used to go there for 4th grade when the school first got built. Bullying was kinda going on and lunch detention was just a student sitting alone at a long table that could be used and couldnt talk to anybody. I think dismissal couldve went better with the grade levels being in different areas because it was just everybody in the cafeteria. A teacher there once told me about my writing and told me how I could write bigger even though others could read it just fine, some teachers are actually good and willing to do their job. This kindergarten teacher tutored me when I had a D and Cs because of my absence and my grades changed in a good amount of time. I didnt really experience bullying but I did notice others did.

Not a great school. I don't blame the teachers. It's charter usa. They decide to build a school the size of some auditoriums and make it K-8 for some unknown reason. 600+ students in a facility that looks like it should be for 200 - 350?

This school is awesome. The administrative staff is always helping and trying their best to help you reach anyone at school parent need. The principal and principal assistance are always active and trying to address any issues parent have at school as fast and as effective they can. The way they handle the school year thru the pandemic was excellent. The teachers help kids and they always communicate with parents thru Schoology and Power school. Academically is above than the public schools near my area. They have tutoring in the afternoon if kids need it and teachers are welling to work with your kid if he falls behind. Safe environment. Great school.

My child has been attending this school for 3 years. It went from bad to worst and now Horrible but the excuse is Covid19 and online learning " WE ARE GETTING THROUGH THIS TOGETHER"... bla bla bla... if so why is the teacher turnover so HIGH... my son has been the past 2 years missing teacher and working with substitutes for several quarters. I thought this year would be better now that the new principal has settled in... but NOT... WORST DISASTER this year thus far.

Both of my children have been attending Creekside Charter Academy for two years. The Creekside staff go above and beyond in their efforts to make the school productive, supportive, and successful. The teachers are really helpful, and they genuinely care about each student. The teachers have the student's best interests in mind and will work with them to help them achieve their best.

I cannot say enough great things about this school, teachers are great, my kids are getting a great quality education that is uniquely tailored to them by using data. The current principal is amazing! They didn't even skip a beat throughout these crazy times and continued to provide an in depth, interactive education for my kids.

Had two kids in the school while they dont have much homework it hard to gauge progress of students if they are not bringing home things to work on and maybe get some extra help from parents.

Posted: April 15, 2020

They are unable to retain teachers one student had 4 teachers in half a year.

Posted: April 15, 2020

I dont know how a 2and grader gets a 12% in science when no work is sent home or is not addressed with the parent. My kid would have to do everything else other than science, which is possible, and it not be addressed is a problem

Posted: April 15, 2020

This school is worse than the public school options. Avoid avoid avoid

Posted: January 27, 2020

Worst experience ever. My kids only attended for 3 months. Wouldn't even send my worse enemies kids there. They dont teach they just play on iPads all day long. Teachers are always hollering at students. My kids test scores went down. Do not send your kids there!!

Posted: January 27, 2020

My son never had homework besides science fair.

Posted: January 27, 2020

They have no one who does 504 plans

Posted: January 27, 2020

This is a huge issue at this school. Teachers are bullies as well

Posted: November 6, 2019

Not the greatest. There are some great teachers that walked out because of the lack of support and respect from administrators. Kids are being shuffled because there are not adequate teachers. They have brought in under qualified subs for weeks at a time and the kids education is suffering over it.

Posted: November 6, 2019

They lack support from administrators. If they had the proper support they would be more effective.

Posted: November 6, 2019

Teachers are stressed and classes are overcrowded. They snap at the kids or ignore bad behavior from students.

Posted: November 6, 2019

Communication is horrible. Emails and phone calls are ignored from parents. Theres no response on the ongoing issues and high teacher turnover.

Posted: November 6, 2019

I have 1 child that excels and isnt being pushed to do more and 1 child that struggles and needs a little more guidance and is told theres no help and to pay attention more.

Posted: November 6, 2019

Kids are sent to the office to be sent back to class with no consequences for the behavior. A child was being choked and nothing was done about it.

Posted: October 4, 2019

Awful without any compassion with the parents. As a parent you send them a email and you never got the response back.

Posted: October 4, 2019

They didnt have a team to help the students with learning disabilities and the administrator said that the school is by choice instead of be worried about that

Posted: October 4, 2019

The teachers sent the students to the office and the administration didnt care and sent the students back to the classrooms

Posted: October 4, 2019

The school is awful is awful is overcrowded and the teacher ratio in the classrooms are over the size

Posted: October 4, 2019

Nothing. The communication is awful And the teacher are no happy because all the things that they have to do without help or advise

Posted: October 4, 2019

A lot of non certified teachers and the teacher said that they didnt received a support from the administrators

Posted: October 4, 2019

No the students doesnt learn the mission and vision of the school because if they do something wrong they didnt worried about and the administrator scream to the employee in front of the students.
