I would not recommend Arbor Creek Middle School. While there are a handful of excellent teachers, unfortunately many of the strongest educators do not stay, resulting in a high turnover rate. The principal does not prioritize academics and seems unaware of what is happening in many classrooms. In my experience, parent concerns are ignored and issues go unresolved.
Coming from such an outstanding elementary school in Lewisville ISD, this has been a very disappointing experience. I had much higher expectations and have been saddened by the lack of leadership and focus on student academic success. I hope the school district takes meaningful steps to improve campus administration accountability, retain quality teachers, and better support its students and families.

I really love this school BUT I just have 1 thing to addres.
I love the Orquestra teacher and she is great at teaching, I learned a lot from her and without her, I wouldnt be in Chamber Orquestra.
I just wish the Orquestra program at the school could get funded a little more. We need a bigger room because I feel that everyone is cramped in the tiny room they gave us. I am feeling that the district thinks that Orquestra is just a little side elective with little instruments and that we dont need more room, WE DO and I just wish they could fix that. Thanks

Middle school is often framed as a period of growth, but for me, it was a gauntlet of systemic failure and targeted cruelty. The environment was defined by a complete lack of accountability, starting when my clothes were stolen from my gym locker; despite involving the School Resource Officer, the theft was ignored, and my property was never seen again. The harassment took a darker, more discriminatory turn when "holy water" was poured on my head to mock my religious beliefs, yet the administrations only response was a hollow "stay away" order that provided no actual protection. I spent my days enduring the humiliation of being barked at in the halls and the constant anxiety of being followed into bathrooms, all while the school watched and did nothing. Most isolating of all was when staff told me to stop telling my mother about the abuse because her relentless demands for accountability were making them uncomfortable, proving that the school was more interested in silencing my advocate than stopping the people who were hurting me.

PTA is great and try to involve families. Fine Arts program is good. Parent concerns however are often ignored and not taken seriously. The way the principal talks to students and parents is not acceptable.

This school actually sucks, there are attention seeking kids who bully you and make fun of you, they dont make anything entertaining and the food, dont even get me started. This year they removed all devices and games. Now that might sound good but, it is the only source of entertainment in the school, and the teachers dont make it entertaining at all, only the electives. How do you expect your children to have fun, or actually enjoy learning? Thats why this generation hates learning, this is the reason. I would never recommend this school, unless you want your child to develop a habit of hating learning.

horrible school never enroll your kids here.

If your child is struggling, they may or may not get help here depending on who the teacher is and what grade level they are in. There is no consistency. Leadership here is poor. Delays and poor response to problems. More diversity in school leadership and staff.

This school has become blind when I got bullied and needed help. They did nothing at all except favor specific students who were smart or were in all honors or whatever. Most of the teachers I encountered were very unwelcoming and mean. But do not get me wrong, the staff were extremely sweet and amazing. Some of kids there have become ruthless, and no one is doing anything about it. Im extremely glad Im homeschooled now instead of being there. I dont recommend this place, trust me. Worst school experience, ever.

As the previous review states, systemic racism. Trying to address it and no response. GT/Leap/Honors are not even at basic levels compared to surrounding districts.

White parents and students are tended to as human beings and other are left to be ignored and gaslighted. Check out students throughout LISD that report it on social media, including alumni that are white and have observes the inequities and mistreatment.

Academics are weak and the district continues to lower the bar.
If you want your child to succeed in a safe, learning environment, this is not an option.

Admin functions to collect a check without doing any work.

Student body is earnest and seems to be better fit to lead than the adults.

Deep rooted systemic racism in sports. Girls that have played club all their life have a difficult time making the sports teams. All sports are mainly caucasian girls with a handful of African American, hispanic, Asian, etc.

The school is not equipped with exceptional math educators that can instruct higher level of mathematics an external tutor is required if students want to pass their math classes understanding the material/information.

They have many different programs for all people no matter how want to learn. Even then, all you have to do is ask and the teachers will make sure you are helped and guided to the best of their abilities.

They have many options in place to take care of bullying like an anonymous call center and do try very hard to take care of it. Of course, it being a middle school, there still is some and it can get out of hand at times.

Its been amazing, the staff is extremely hard working and care a lot about what they do. I just hope the arts can get a little bit more of a fund because they are exceptional here. I would definitely recommend going here to anyone in the area.

Sometimes it gets difficult to keep up with especially now that its online, but overall its pretty reasonable!

Posted: October 23, 2020

The teachers and staff are amazing and so supportive of all the students!

Posted: October 23, 2020

All the staff is very hard working and it really helps the students in general. The teachers there dont just teach the students they connect and form a bond with them.
