We moved to hidden creek when my oldest son was in 4th grade. It was a very positive experience for all of us. My son has adhd and the teacher was very willing to work with us and let us know if she noticed him struggling. There has been great communication between teachers and parents. His fifth grade teachers went above and beyond to teach their students with experiences and not just text in a book. My oldest is now in middle school and our youngest is at hidden creek. The teachers have been amazing and all the staff I have interacted with have been nothing but amazing and seem to genuinely love and care for the students. My children have gained self confidence and the school staff encourage them to be self sufficient and also hold themselves accountable for their actions good or bad. We are military and getting ready to move again and I will very much miss this school.

My nephew attends hidden Creek and my sister has had a number of issues with the staff in the front office. She has been threatened with truancy charges when my nephew has disabilities and gets sick quite frequently. I am not impressed with the attitude that we receive from the office ladies there about him being absent when there are certain policies about him going to school within so many hours of having a fever or being ill. Thus school needs to learn how to communicate a lot better.

This school, I believe is the best school for the children to attend. The teachers and staff absolutely love the children, and they go out of their way to help the children learn. My son has benefited so much from this school. He is excited every single day to attend this school, to see one of his favorite people, his recess teacher, ( Ms. Suzy) . He is a very shy boy, but she is able to get him to come out of his shell. I can't thank her enough for the care she has shown my son these past three school years. Thank you Hidden Creek!!! Amazing teachers and staff + excited children = happy mommy.

Excellent school! The teachers actually care about students. The PTA is very involved. They raised funds for the 6th grade to go to camp which lessened the burden on families. The principal is very involved.
