The level of communication between parents and faculty, the encouragement of parent involvement in the education, the security of the campus and the responsiveness of the staff to parental and student concerns have left me with a very positive experience with this school. My child has shown significant improvement in their academic awareness and their desire to keep learning.

Homework, by design, involves the parents and includes numerous activities catered toward teaching children through a variety of activities and household items.

As a parent I have an open line of communication with the teacher and teacher's assistant at all times. My child has learned so much in just the first couple of months at school and remains excited to go to school, excited to learn and excited to be a part of the class.

These are the core values espoused by this school and students are encouraged and rewarded for displaying these qualities to their classmates.

Posted: October 16, 2019

As a parent, I haven't had much interaction with the leadership of the school at this time so I cannot comment too heavily except to state that everything appears organized and effective.

I do not have any experience with this aspect of the school or its faculty.

I have had no experience with my child being bullied so I do not know how it is handled at this school.

I had 2 boys and 2 girls go through this school. They all did well because my wife and I worked with them, they were relatively self motivated, and the teachers gave them extra work to push them. The majority of students, I believe, are non white and on free or reduced lunch. I'd attribute the low test scores to the lack of opportunity these kids grow up with. My kids were minority students because we are white, upper middle income. I like that my kids know what it's like to be a minority and had the chance to work, interact and be friends with people that are different than them.

Creech Rd Elementary was a good school for my children. I am very disappointed that Cat Berry will not be the principal this year. After reading the reviews I see that the school had had several different principals I pray that the new principal has the same visions as Cat Berry and the others. The teachers Mrs. Paradise and Mrs. Dillenger along with Mrs. Sample were a delight and hard working individuals who really care about the students academic growth. Im sad that my children will not have them this year as they move up a level but im excited to meet the new teachers with hopes that they share the same ambition and drive as the others.

I think Creech made a great improvement under the leadership of Cathy Berry the new principal.

One of if not the worst school in garner . The teachers themselves are I am sure doing their best but the administrative staff are useless.Poor test results overall poor student performance and poor leadership.

This school is a great one! Many of the poor reviews are outdated (some dating back over 5 yrs ago!), and since my son has been enrolled I have yet to experience any issues. The staff, teachers, principle, and volunteers are all very kind, helpful, and courteous. If i have ever had a question, it was answered honestly and accurately. The best part about the school is there smooth running systems for keeping track of students and transitioning them from school to their bus or parent's vehicle. My son loves his teacher, and is more than excelling as a student. They push positive attitudes and safety protocols in fun, productive ways that the children enjoy. My son even schools me on a few sometimes! Overall, GREAT school. Give it a chance!
