Boulder Creek Elementary School

We just moved away from Boulder Creek 2 months ago and boy do we miss it!!! That school is the best. Super friendly, helpful staff. An amazingly involved Principal. We miss it soooooooo MUCH!! Please if you are looking for a school pick this one with ease. I had a 1st and 2nd grader and they loved it and so did I! My 2nd grader just got a envelope full of letters from her old class yesterday I felt like crying, we are not fans of her new school. If I could I would drive her the 3 hrs to go back to Boulder Creek!!

Like the size of school and that it doesn't feel like a City school and like the Principal's philosophy

I also love having my daughter at Boulder Creek, Mr Porter is the best principal I have seen in many years. He is very involved with the children and they are comfortable talking to him. I agree that the teachers are a mixed bag, perhaps it is just their personalities. Mr Shelby, Ms Vollmers and Mrs. Jewett have been great.

I love having my children at Boulder Creek School. It has great parent involvement and the teachers really care about the students and that they do well. The principal, Mr. Porter, is the best principal that I have ever encountered. He is very active in all school functions and cares about the school. Some principals hide in their offices handing out detentions, but Mr. Porter is not like this. He's also about 6'5', so the kids look up to him, literally! I'm very pleased with Boulder Creek School all the way around!

Boulder Creek is full of potential and good intentions. It's among the best schools in Redding, and while it delivers on many levels, it comes up short on some and misses completely on others. Principal Dale Porter, warm and caring, reaches out to students and parents. Yet, he appears to lack sufficient control over the faculty and staff, which shortchanges his efforts. The faculty is a mixed bag. Some teachers are simply awesome, while others are mediocre at best, and their standards and curriculum vary widely, even in the same grade levels. The booster club is a cliquey bunch, powerful and hard to penetrate. They look out for one another, but for everyone else, it s a mixed bag. If you manage to get the right teachers, Boulder Creek is a very good school. But if not, it will leave you pulling your hair out over what might have been.
