After moving from another charter school that was missing some things that I consider to be "key" parts of school, I have been pleasantly surprised and REALLY happy with Second Creek. My kinder child in Ms. Valerie Gonzalez class has learned an INCREDIBLE amount, loves her teacher and school and has even enjoyed some of the extra events at the school. They seem to have a more traditional approach that gives kids a solid base with fewer of the "trendy" things other schools are trying to embrace. I think that we need to make sure kids can read/write and do math before we worry about Powerpoint.

I Have 2 daughters attending second creek. They have both had great teachers and great educations. The PTO is awesome and hosts lots of fun events. I would highly recommend it.

This is the only school my kids have ever attended, so I have nothing to compare it too....but I absolutely love it! We have had amazing teachers and the administration and staff truly care about the families. The teachers get involved and do silly stuff to motivate the kids (the asst principal dressed as a superhero and slid down a chocolate pudding slip 'n slide!) I have had some people comment that they don't care for our principal but I have always had a great relationship with her. She comes to all of our PTO meetings and always makes an appearance at our school skate nights. My kids test scores are always way above the district and state average for their grade level so I know they are learning what they need to know. Highly recommend this school!

Academics are good... no emphasis on upper-level music... no orch, choir, or band offered of any significance. Music helps self-esteem & attendance & test scores

I'm the mom of a 1st grader, and honestly, the principal at second creek elementry is one of the worse I've ever met, she is rude and condesending, she is not a people friendly person, and I feel very uncomfortable visiting my son at school after meeting her.

We love this school, my son has attended Second Creek for the last 3 years. Since going to this school his ADHD has not been an issue. He has been on the honor roll every semester for two of those years. The staff has all been great. Mr Felton and Mrs Simms are fantastic. Mrs Rodivin and Mr Mogensen are some of the best teachers I have ever seen. Special thanks to Nancy in office staff too she has always been a great asset. I will be sad when my son finishes 6th grade this year and moves on........

My children (2nd and 5th grades) feel absolutely at home at Second Creek... and like it as much as their previous Texas elementary from last year - Alexander Elementary in Katy ISD - one of the top ten elementaries in all of Texas! My kids' teachers are very very very strong and caring.

My son has been going to this school for a year now and it is a great school. The teachers genuinly care about these kids. My son has improved so much on his education with reading and with math. They do have homework on the regular that sometimes can be a bit easy but most of the time it is age approriate. This school is also very well diversed the children there come from 15 different language backgrounds which is great. They also have great specials that are including science, art, PE, computers and Library starting in KG. My sons favorite project was making slime in science class. This school is great and the Principle and secretary are great people who care about the school, anyone should give this school a chance.
