My child was jumped by 2 other children. I was only aware of the situation by the nurse. Not the principal or his teacher. Even though this happened during the end of school the children were still allowed to go get on the bus to go home. There parents should have been called to pick them up and be fully aware immediately. The children punishment was in school suspension which is a light punishment for bullying and fighting. His teacher is often absent or leaving early and my son tells me often he had a substitute teacher. There has been a situation where I called the school and told them I will pick him up and when I came to get him he wasn't there. They let him walk home when I called ahead of time letting them know I was coming to pick him up. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

This school really needs to improve on communications....This school will skip typical protocol when contacting the child's regular contact then skip straight to the emergency contacts. A lot there activities require lots of money and more money , it seems like all they want to do is make the parents pay, pay, its makes a parent wonder what kind of budget they are working with or even what funds have been allotted to BCE. I am not sure my child is going to remain.

My daughter has been attending Bridge Creek since the first grade. Our family has enjoyed her attendance here and the wonderful education she has been receiving from her teachers. Bridge Creek is all one can ask for in an elementary school. I highly recommend!

BCE is an amazing school! They have friendly teachers and administrators. My son and daughter are both there and they both received top notch educational experiences. Consider yourself lucky if you are zoned for Bridge Creek!

The staff there are amazing. It is warm and friendly once you enter the front door. My daughter has been going there for three years and loves school. She's learned so much and is above her grade on the dra reading scores. I'm so impressed and thankful she had such a great start in her education. Sadly, we are moving. I hope her next school will be just as good.

My daughter started Kindgertan at BC and will complete 1st grade there as well. This school has a ton of parent involvement which is great. You definatley have to arrive early to get a parking spot when you attend any of the school events. The teachers and Staff have proven to be true professionals. My child has been challenged academically and has excelled. They keep you informed of updates by email and phone. Principal leadership is awesome as well. You will be happy with this school.

The staff really cares about their students. The school counselor gives school supplies to those who can't afford them.
