Excellent school, teachers are very involved, as are the parents. The school, along with the District, are very concerned about exceeding the educational goals and technology in today's fast-paced society.
Twin Creeks is the best school my kids have attended. Great teachers! My kids' teachers are dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate. Parents really involved in school support activities. The teachers are very Tons of school spirit and community involvement! A wonderful neighborhood school. My only complain is I hope the hours of class can be longer. But I guess all the public elementary schools have budget problem.
The best year ever for our 5th grader. New leadership at the school is taking it back to previously held positions. The school is getting back the drive from the past and will soon become the best one of the San Ramon Valley School District.
Barb Mallon - Twin Creeks new principal has made a tremendous difference! She is an expert on helping gifted children programs and gave our boys challenges that previous leadership was unwilling to consider. I think Twin Creeks will be a 10 this year (still waiting for test scores to be posted) but either way the school is on its way to becoming a top rung performer in the San Ramon Valley School District. Also some of the teachers are amazing - especially in the lower grades.
The school is making a positive change after the change of the principal. There are also more involvement from the parents after this change. My 5th grader loves her classroom and taking classes on a laptop. My K grader likes the attention from her teachers. This is definitely a good school!
I'm happy my girls are there. Since the change of the principal, the school is improving a lot!!
I like the community. I have a kindergarden. The teachers are so sweet. My daughter is so happy with the school's environment. We are glad to be at Twin Creeks.
It makes me sick to know my son attends a school that has such lower API performance. Yes, teachers are friendly but do not have the high standard for academic achievement in mind. There are some kids behaving really bad in the school and teachers do not seem able to discipline them. I am surprised to see some parents and students demeanor seem matches with those in lower socioeconomic school district. We paid such a high price for the house in SR hoping my son would get good education, but the school makes me feel being in Oakland.
This is our last year here, and I am glad it's on to Iron Horse! We've been in this community a long time, and have definitely experienced an overall decline at this school. Have to agree with some of the other parents about the ineffective principal. Things weren't so bad when my older kid was at Twin Creeks 7 years ago. I feel bad for the families who still have kids here.
No complaints whatsoever about the principal, test scores or anything else for that matter. My child is doing very well and is quite happy. Overall performance and happiness are far more important to us than test scores.
