My family moved here a few months into the school year. I have three children that attend this wonderful school. The students, teachers and staff were very helpful in helping the kids integrate. LOVE the teachers here, so caring. They are shining stars. We feel very lucky indeed to be able to have our kids attend this school.

My daughter came to this school in 6th grade, and had no trouble finding new friends and fitting in. SInce the school is in Irvine, there are always a few new kids entering at each grade level. This makes it easier for the new kids as opposed to being in a town with very established populations and little mobility. The teachers seem to be very experienced and well-prepared. I especially like how kids get help with math. If they didn't understand a certain topic, they move to the group that goes over it at a slower speed. Once they catch up with the material, they move on with the rest of the class .

I have two children in this school - my oldest has been in this school for the past 4 years. The teachers are fantastic and the Principal is the best! Our children love this school. The parent-teacher partnership and involvement is really great and they encourage an open line of communication between parents and teachers. Our PTA is really involved and you can find a network of parents in any grade willing to help out if you're a working parent like me. We love this school and I'm so thankful that my children are getting great education at Stonecreek!

Rude staff. Screaming teachers. Arrogant attitude. Be glad this school is closed to new enrollment because unless you're ready for Boot Camp, this is NOT the school of choice. Trust me!
—Submitted by a parent
We just began attending Stone Creek this year and have been very pleased. The teachers are fantastic and everyone is friendly, helpful and caring. Even the front office staff and the crossing guard are fantastic.

It's very very good school.My children really like to go to school and enjoy classmates. Their teacher and helpers are very kind.I feel this school is my family school. I strongly recommend this school to parents.
—Submitted by a parent
This is a wonderful small neighborhood school. We moved in the area couple of years ago in the middle of the school year. My daughter was happily surprised when her 1st grade peers made her very welcome. It seems that the main objective of the school is building a character. I especially like that Principal knows each child by name and truly is involved. Teachers and staff are very helpful and concerned. This is a wonderful school to attend.

Welcome to GreatSchools!
For principals and school officials, we offer a special Enhanced School Profile (ESP) which allows you to update and add information about your school, as well as respond to reviews. If you are a school official, click Continue to start.
Please note that it can take up to 48 hours for your comment to be posted to our site. While you're here, we'd like to invite you to fill out a survey on your school's programs, activities, and extracurriculars. It only takes a few minutes and will help parents get a full picture of your school.
Continue to compare the schools you have already selected or Edit schools to change your selection.
Get started now! You have successfully registered and can now start updating your Official School Profile. The information you provide is extremely valuable in helping parents and students learn more about your school, so thanks for taking the time!
