Middle Creek has its pros and cons. I would say around half of the teachers are excellent, and the other half to put it simply, are not. The bathrooms are nasty, but I guess that is to be expected. The school is relatively safe, although "stuff " is used. There are good sports, and extracurriculars, such as theatre, and clubs. The equipment in the classrooms is pretty old and out of date, and some is entirely damaged. For the most part, the kids here are kind, but of course, some people can be mean. I would say, all in all, Middle Creek is a fine school.

Academics is great...sports program is bad. They do not treat all the kids fairly. They have their favorites and the others are out.

Middle Creek High School, academically is by far one of the best schools around. My girls love the teachers and the friends they have made.
But if your looking for sports with academics....you nee to be one of two things.....a superstar or know the right people. The sports program is very unfair. The athletic director defends the coaches no matter what. Very sad that educators/adults can treat kids badly.

MIDDLE, CREEK is amazing! I have 2 students who really enjoy going to school, both for the academic as well as the extra curricular activities. In addition to the school being a STEM school they also have 2 academy programs, digital media and sustainable energy. They have engaged and dedicated teachers who are very supportive. They have a wide variety of extracurricular and sports activities including but not limited to: Student Government,Theater, Future Service Members of America, Sports Block, video gaming, and the creek crazies! Mr Martin has been principal for a little over a year and although some people have spoken about Mr Martin being different than the past principal we have found him to be nothing but very dedicated to the students as well and does an excellent job. We highly recommend Middle Creek High School and feel it to be truly a blessing to our students! they are creating great lifetime memories on a daily basis! Check out our website or come by during one of our events or shows to see our Mustang pride in action!

I have a daughter that is a sophomore at Middle Creek who enjoys her days there. She feels safe, included, respected by students and faculty, challenged and exposed to opportunity. I feel welcomed whenever I am there...be it to drop off something, to volunteer or to attend an event. This school has a naturally positive environment. I like Mr. Williams style of leadership...he is always present but not always front and center. The only thing that keeps this school from being excellent, in my opinion, is the limited elective course offerings. Otherwise, this school is great, great high school.
