Find a different school. More focused on if a student is a minute late than mental health, grades etc. Teachers (not all) are there for a job only not because they actually care about these children's lives. This is just my personal experience with this school. They do not genuinely care about your kids or their futures. Again my opinion and experience with my own child and other children that go and have gone there. I do pray teachers get back to how it was..caring not only about grades but about these kids.. you never know what they go through and sometimes a teacher/school can change everything..if they just care. I do as best I can at home and I trust the schools to help me guide my kid. It takes a village. I reiterate...my experience and no not all teachers. I do hope anyone has a better experience than us here.

gave a rating on 3 on social-emotional support. called and talked with a school counselor once about a concern I had with my student.
The counselor seemed as though it was OK because several students were doing it and that it wasn't a big deal.
She was not very supportive at all and just gave that attitude it wasn't a big deal.
I only contacted the school to see if there was a trend that they were seeing and if there was something extra, we could do together.

They teach them the way of lying.

Posted: September 25, 2017

They show no leadership. There is one set of rules for parents/students called a Policy. They hand this out. If you question these policies, then they come up with a memorandum. Way to go on being leaders and example for the students!

Posted: September 25, 2017

My son has a 504. Something that will help him, they say he CANT have and lets come up with a memorandum to show its different than the policy we set in place.

This school SUCKS! Run! Run far away! Dont buy or rent a house that zones you to this school. They make up extra memorandums to get away from the POLICY they hand out to each student. They expect the children to abide this Policy but they wont follow the same policy. Their 504/IEP sucks! Run away from the school!

I hate this school. I hate this city. Its boring and people are fake. Take me out.

I attended wc from my freshman to sophomore year and I never really liked it. They have teachers coming and going left and right, TOO many rules and the school is just not a place a teenager should spend their high school years. Yes, wc is one of the newer schools in the district but we as students have no privileges and I felt like I was at elementary school, especially during the 2013-2014 school year. The education is pretty good but we have lost a lot of teachers because they do not agree with the choices of the administration, which I as a student understand why they don't. They have sports and JROTC but wc football team is horrible, so if you are serious in football, do yourself a favor and avoid wc at all cost. The JROTC is probably one of the best programs they have at the school and the drill team is outstanding. Also, the soccer team is pretty good, too. A lot of people who attend wc would say that its one of the strictest schools in the district (which is very true), and I will not be attending wc my junior or senior yeat because I feel like I need to know what high school is actually like.But that's just my opinion.

My school is new, only 5 years old. However, the teachers and administration are incredibly dedicated to the success of our students. We have some incredible one-of-a-kind programs in the arts, sports & JROTC that offer wonderful opportunities for our students.

This school is ok, pretty diverse but the experience for my child was awful! The authority engaged in this school is cold hearted and cannot be relied on. If the authority was changed, I would possibly reccomend this school to others.

I won't say that West Creek is the best school, but it fares well compared to some of the other schools in the county. The main issue I have is with the children who aren't there for an education. Typically if you aren't in an honors or AP class, learning may be difficult because those around you don't want to learn and become disruptive. That being said, when you do learn, you learn a lot. Most of my teachers care just as much about my education as I do and are willing to take time out of their schedule to help me achieve success be it through before and/or after school tutoring or taking student input into their curriculum. As for the school as a whole, it is quite nice. A lot of effort goes into keeping are school clean and our technology is constantly being updated (for example, my teacher does our lessons through a tablet instead of only using dry erase markers or the overhead projector). The football team is horrible, but the drill team and basketball team are outstanding. The school is pretty good considering what they have to work with.

This school is horrible. They are unwilling to help students the attendance lady will not accept notes half the time signed by a doctor also. The principal is very uncaring and the teachers are in the mode of 'you'll catch on soon'

My kids just enrolled in to this school last week and they love it. My daughter whom is in the 10th grade has also been telling me about how good their step team is.

Our kids have attended the middle and high school since they opened and I can tell you it has gotten worse with each passing year. Middle school wasn't bad, the high school is terrible. Certain teachers are unwilling to help students and typically give the "you'll catch on" attitude. The principal and assistant principal are disgraces to school faculty. Bulliying runs rampant and unchecked by the staff. They simply refuse to acknowledge any problems, turn a blind eye, and operate like everything is fine. One child even admitted to the staff (principal, asst principal, and school counselors) that he made the alleged threats and his actions still went unchecked. I can not wait for our kids to be done with West Creek. It has become a very exclusive school and if you aren't in the clique you're not welcone there. This goes for students and parents alike.

This school is ran like a military school. Its newer but its not how high school should be. They dont have alot of activities for the students. Sports are ok. The Principal is heartless. Looking forward to moving out of this state. And the grading scale is different. My child is bored with this school. He said he 0 fun in school. They cant even have water in class. Ok so all these athletes can just dehydrate.....they dont care. Im really hoping my son wont have to graduate from here.

Posted: November 5, 2011

This is a wonderful school everyone gets along pretty well there is no problems with bullying or nothing. The principal especially always trys to get a smile out of everyone.

Posted: October 11, 2011

I have to admit it I actually like this school and I never want to miss a day because its so fun.

This school has gone from good to poor since the beginning of the second year of opening. This students are unruly, disrespectful. Final exams are a joke. My children in the middle and high school brought some exams home to work on them. Study guides were no more than cheat sheets with fill in the blanks and used during exams. I moved as soon as possible. When the new school was told they came from the west Creek schools they were concerned and the children were given placement tests. They did poor and have a hard road to recover the time lost. At least we have time to fix this and a school that cares. One last note, One of my children took a tape recorder into his English class because I did not believe the stories. You could hear the teacher giving her lecture, 2 cell phones rang, students goofing off and talking. For 15 minutes this went on and the teacher never missed a beat with her lecture or tried to regain any control. I sent a copy to Principal , asst Principal, superintendent of MCSC and our school board member. One response from the asst principal who called me and said "That is the discretion of the teacher if the students do not want to listen do not want to listen"
