Before we open enrolled at Fox Creek last year we did our homework. We toured several schools and interviewed principals and teachers. A lot of what the other schools were talking about Fox Creek was already doing. We are so happy to be part of the Fox Creek family. The administrators and teachers are the best in the district, the PTO is very active, the parents are engaged, and the students are happy and respectful all of which make Fox Creek a great environment. I would highly recommend Fox Creek!!!!!
All three of our children have attended Fox Creek. Our daughters have moved onto high school and middle school respectfully and have thrived both academically and socially. There is no doubt that the Fox Creek administration and teachers exceeded our expectations in providing a solid foundation for them to build upon. Our son presently attends Fox Creek and he loves it! Upon arrival, you will find the most welcoming atmosphere; loaded with high energy and comprehensive focus of instruction. The administration, teachers, staff and PTO are second to none; we love Fox Creek!
This is our fifth year at Fox Creek and we couldn t be more pleased! Both of my boys love the school and their teachers. The teachers are amazing. We ve had some behavior difficulties at times with the boys, and the teachers have always worked with us to find the best solution for our kids. When you walk into the building, you are greeted like family. Parents are always welcome to volunteer in the classroom, get involved in activities, or just hang out and observe. The before and after school care program is top notch great teachers and a really family feel. It doesn t get much better than at Fox Creek!
My boys have been attending Fox Creek for 4 years now and the teaching staff has exceeded our expectations on a regular basis. The PTO organization is very strong and brings a real sense of community and partnership to our overall experience. My best friends are those from our neighborhood schools. Please consider Fox Creek as your school! GO FOX CREEK!
Extremely pleased with the experience our two girls are having at Fox Creek. The teachers are excellent, involved and compassionate. The school is open to new ideas and works to incorporate the best of educational change. The parents are actively participating in the activities. Very impressive volunteer organization. Can't say enough about this school, highly recommend it to all parents with elementary level children.
I have two children at Fox Creek. We've been at FCE for 6 years, and it has been the perfect elementary school experience both for my children and for us as parents. The teachers are first-rate and always challenge the kids to look at things in new ways. Communication between teachers and parents is terrific, and I love that parents are always welcome at the school either to volunteer in the classroom or to observe or just to drop in and have lunch with our kids. Fox Creek is a very welcoming school, and you feel a part of a bigger community. My kids have drastically different needs academically, and they have both flourished at FCE. We couldn't be happier!
My children have attended Fox Creek for 3 years. We moved to Highlands Ranch from a different state. I am continuously impressed with the level of dedication shown by teachers and administration to students. The PTO is a strong organization and offers many ways for parents to get involved. Not only have my kids made lifelong friends, so have I. The sense of community is phenomenal. I love that my kids look forward to going to school.
I have nothing but great things to say about Fox Creek. A fabulous group of teachers and staff fully committed to the kids. A true sense of family and community. Our two children thrived at this school - wouldn't want to have them anywhere else.
I have nothing but positive words to say about Fox Creek. I do and will recommend this school to anyone. We moved here from out of state 3 years ago and are still amazed at how great of a school Fox Creek is. The teachers/staff are amazing! They truly care about each student and make each one feel that they are important. When moving grades and finding out what teacher your student will have for that upcoming year, it is never a worry at Fox Creek, any and all of them are great. I have never seen a principal so involved and active with the students and parents, what a great leader! As a school, they respect you as the parent and your time as a family. Fox Creek is more than a school, it is a great group of people that come together as a community. When we first visited Fox Creek 3 years ago, I remember feeling welcomed the moment I walked in the door and I still feel that today.
My kids have all gone to Fox Creek but I have to admit that there were a couple years that I was checking into Academies as it seemed the "In" thing to do. After further research (2 years) and countless conversations with other parents and students, who had switched to the Academy and had been very disappointed, I decided to get more involved at the school to find out if there where any truth to my concerns. The concerns that I had (advanced child not being challenged) was being handled by the Teacher and staff effortlessly. I am still with Fox Creek and I am VERY happy. My kids all have friends that are in their neighborhood that go to their neighborhood school. And in my opinion, the way it should be! Thank you Fox Creek for making this possible for me and my family! Also, I would like to point out that one thing that the Academy schools do have right is mandatory parental volunteering. Getting involved at your school and investing your time, gives you a sense of belonging and pride. So, in my experience, before you decide to leave your neighborhood school for an Academy, get involved at your school !
