Timber Creek High School

School does not care about parental involvement. School doesn’t care about mental health. School does the bare minimum to help students. Principal only cares about test scores and perfect attendance.

Poor my special needs child was treated like she does Ed not belong in there class due to behavior problems instead of resolving the issue with the parent , they lash out at the parents for the child behavior instead

Principal and staff are no help in resolving issues pertaining to a child needs at the school

Class sizes of 35-38 cannot help any teacher be effective.

Admin talks a good talk but the students are still the same.

While staff says they will do something regarding threats, in the end they just give up. Too many students to police.

This was not a good experience. I had to withdraw my child as staff could not guarantee my child's safety.

This school is pretty average. Could do better with specific teachers.

Posted: August 10, 2017

We were told that they have so many students they just don't have the resources (personnel, time, classes).

My child did not have a good experience at this school. He needed extra support from teachers which he did not get. If you are not already a driven student or an athelete, you might as well forget it.

Posted: August 10, 2017

The amount of homework from each class adds up to hours being spent at home on school work.

Posted: August 10, 2017

If a child does not fit in the "average/normal" mold they do not have the time to work with that child. Out of 8 teachers, only 6 made any attempt to help.

Posted: August 10, 2017

A child with any sort of difficulty never gets help to get past that to work on character.

Posted: August 10, 2017

They are so busy they do not have the "time" to help the individual student. They are in reactive mode not proactive mode.

Timbercreek High School has been a great experience for both of my kids. One Graduated in 2016 and got accepted with Scholarships to Baylor because of his strong work ethic and Great Teachers at the school. My other son is starting his Sophomore Year and has enjoyed his Teachers and the academic environment at the school.

My son has attended the school for four years we've had our ups and downs with different teachers but overall most of the teachers were helpful and great in educating my child.

An incident took place during a competition. My sons partner was allowed to bully him, put him down and do anything she could to sabotage the competition for him. By the end of the competition he had completely given up. The teacher in charge of this did nothing to stop the bullying. In fact he told my son Suck it up. I wanted to talk to the teacher about the incident but my son was too embarrassed and begged me not to. In fact several weeks after her bullying she was made president of their club. She was even allowed to bring in someone who was not in the club to vote for her. The teacher allowed this and did nothing to stop it. So as far as bullying is concerned this particular teacher did nothing. I was truly saddened by this behavior.

Overall my son did great at the school. The competition between the students is what drove him to do better. However I could see with some students this may not work. He is graduating this year with distinguished honors and has worked hard to accomplish everything that he has strive to do. His counselor was absolutely fabulous through his entire high school career. I give kudos to her and hopes that she can help other students achieve their goals.

Teachers need to communicate more. Many times my student would come home with multiple projects all do at the same time. It's highly stressful for the student and the parent to try and get all these projects complete and turned in on time. But most of the time there were no issues.

My student is completing their first semester at TCHS. Taking 3 preAP classes. The English department is top-notch. Science has been great, as well. The only complaint we've had was due to the maternity absence of a math teacher. Good subs are hard to find and the district does not pay well. (No fault of the campus.) As a result, the math sub was a poor teacher. Once it was brought to administrator's attention, they were let go and a new one brought in. Math department head got involved and helped adjust unfair grades and guide the new sub in lessons. They made the best of a difficult situation. When my child told a teacher of a situation of ongoing sexual comments from another student, that teacher immediately moved seats and sent my student to the AP's office to file a report. Everyone took it seriously and there were no more problems. The band is over 300 students. Communication has been a bit spotty this year. But the program overall is excellent. Freshmen are welcomed in by the many groups. My kid WANTED to join everything. Campus communication is very good. A parent newsletter is emailed out every Friday and current info can be found on TimberCreekTalon.com

Timber Creek High School is the newest High School in a district that has grown quickly and responsibly over the last ten years. Keller ISD has a proven track record of opening quality schools in an area of the country that lives the values of family, community, and education. Our kids have been guided well through the enrollment and administrative process at the school and the teachers do a good job challenging the kids, using technology, and driving results. I was even impressed the district made the PSAT testing available to the incoming Freshman class this year. Great preparation for college readiness. My kids are in all-AP (advanced placement) classes and the level of education is appropriate for the grade level. School spirit and pride is great as reflected in the other comments about sports focus (which I believe is true about most of Texas).

Posted: September 3, 2014

this school do focus on sports than the education of our children. They have an image to protect. Where do this schools rank when it comes to scholarships?

Posted: September 2, 2014

Really great teachers that care, minimal behavioral issues, and overall a great school! Biggest complaint would be that it's still a bit overcrowded even with the new wing addition but that has nothing to do with the school so much as the district.

Posted: August 24, 2014

The counselors are unreliable. There was a new central wing put into the school for the quantity of incoming freshmen of 2014-2015. There are about 35 kids to a regular class and there is one teacher. Teachers barely have to actually teach, most allow kids on their cell phones or just give out busy work. The school also is more strict about not breaking rules - they pay more attention to the people actually not following the rules rather than making sure that all the students understand what is being taught to them. Timber Creek wanted to do this block scheduling for 2014-2015. They worked all summer on it to try and give over 3,000 kids their schedules, and then three days before school started, the administration decided that it wasn't going to work and crammed in a whole summers work of school schedules into three days. There are kids who have the same classes and kids who have already passed a class, but their transcript doesn't say they have. The teachers don't even give kids books, they are all class sets. Everything is unorganized, unprofessional, and unreliable. This is hands down the worst school I have ever had to attend.

This school is great. the teachers and the staff are extremely helpful. They are very understanding...

The school allows the football players to bully other kids. They bend over backwards to protect the football players from discipline. The schools main focus is on sports.

Posted: September 30, 2012

I have to agree with the parents review from September 29, 2012. My child was in their first graduating class. Timber Creek truly has a rah-rah mentality for sports and a far less commitment to academics. Although, the principal is there as a position filling person, some of the teachers are outstanding and do make up for some of the lackadaisical attitude of the administration.

Posted: May 24, 2012

My daughter just completed her 9th grade year and my son is about to enter 9th grade at this school. So far the administration has been very responsive to any concerns that I've had as a parent. I know that some of their programs still are fresh and finding their way to greatness but they seem to be on the right path. I would like to see an outreach to involve Freshman in organizations to enhance their experience but I think that will come in time.

My daughter started her 9th grade year at Timber Creek when the school opened. She will be graduating in 2013 from there. She has dyslexia & I have to say that this school has really been awesome. Even with this school being in the first few years of opening, we have been very fortunate that the vast majority of her teachers have had a real interest in helping her to achieve her individual goals each year & offer help & support any time she is struggling. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to move to the Keller area.

It's still rooting itself. Several departments have a long way to go but the potential is high and the students are working hard. The school is still precocious however has a very positive future.
