We are really happy having our child attend this school. The administration is very involved and connected to the families. The principal can be found at every single event and is warm and engaging with every student...even knows mine by name. We have loved every teacher our child has had so far (he's currently in 2nd grade) and when he's needed accommodations for math, we have found communication and interventions to be excellent. A very warm school with a great sense of community with the families as well as with each other.

My son is currently in second grade. The school was recently renovated and is now called Gordon Creek Elementary. My son has an IEP and I feel his teachers have been very willing and helpful in fulfilling his IEP. So far, his teachers have been very nice and interested in the kids learning/understanding the material. Parents and teachers have good communication. I have not seen any bullying in his first two years of attendance. There is a positive motivation program in place for learning and behavior in the school. The teacher to student ratio is very good and there are separate teachers for the humanities classes.

Kindergarten homework was excessive by far, first grade homework is just right--one sheet per day.

Being an educator myself I have found this school to be excellent. The teachers are top notch and care about the children's needs, not just academic but emotionally and socially. The principal is young, energetic and has included a nice character building program to the school. They have wonderful enrichment activities on Saturdays for FREE voted in by the community. If you want a top notch education this school is doing it's job. Thank you MTS and keep up the great work...you have the most important job in the world...educating our youth...kuddos to you.
