Great teachers, office staff, & principal...Enrichment courses are offered, the staff is readily available to sit down & talk to you about your concerns or to just have a nice chat about anything. I feel very good about sending my child to this school.
Great teachers and administration, involved supportive parents, and a wonderful program including a rotation through unique enrichment classes.
Deer Creek offers a well rounded education. It is a school filled with great teachers, strong academics, and a wonderful enrichment program. It is a school that I am proud to send my son to.
The administration and teachers truly put the children first. My daughter is more than ADA money to them. This is the first school my daughter has been to where she is truly happy to go to school every day. Love it.
Great teachers, who really see what the children need to blossom.
My daughter is so happy and challenged and surrounded by good role models. Wonderful people work there!
Quality of academic programs: quite good. Some teachers are superb. Teachers: cream of the crop! Due to Math rotaion program. Kids are catagorized by test scores/speed at picking up new math concepts. Children actually 'rotate' to the classroom that moves at their speed using Saxon Math, the better teachers also know how to 'move' them along to get optimum learning from each child. My child started at the second to slowest math class in 3rd grade; but with tutoring at home/guidance by the teacher; jumped to the 2nd highest class. And, advanced math for her grade level, & skipped an entire book by end of 4th, beginning 5th. Music very dry mostly volunteer taught. Unless the child chooses in 3rd grade to one of 3 instruments, then he/she can bus to. Art: Excellent. Sports Adequate Ski Club/ great. Extra classes are great! Parental involvement is excellent and one of the main reasons this
Many excellent teachers, a supportive principal and involved parents. They have been challenged by a declining district enrollment.
