Creighton Middle School

The school was...pretty bad. I was on the accelerated program, luckily, so i wasn't involved in all the nonsense going on, but honestly, most of the kids are very misbehaved. We had to change the PEA (point, evidence, analysis) system because the kids didn't know what analysis meant. That's honestly just sad. The purple team is really the only good side to Creighton. The teachers try, but it's definatley weighed down by the other administrative staff. I'm so glad to be out of there. There were LOTS of drugs and sex going on there. a lot more than most people think.

Creighton middle school is amazing! its like one big family all of the teachers & staff are fantastic. there are several programs also. the sports programs are excellent. creighton's volleyball team was undefeated all season and took first place at championships. Also the principals do a great job of keeping creighton at its best. it is a very welcoming enviroment and everyone is very helpful and nice.

This is a great school. My daughter goes here and we feel she is now challanged more than she ever was in grade school. She also has more friends due to the fact of more students not needing bi-lingual attention. Great staff and student body! Go Cougars!

I'm a student in the G/T program at Creighton, and I love it! There are so many kids who you can actually talk to without them going, 'Huh?! What the heck are you saying?!' It's a great environment for really creative kids who could care less about the classic, stupid, obnoxious fads of normal middle school. The teachers are sometimes not very encouraging, and they expect a lot, which is not so great since most of us aren't all that mature or calm, anyway. In fact a lot of purple teamers are quite um, bounce-off-the-walls-ish? Even though we love to learn (usually), we're pretty much like hyperactive, crazy, humorous, creative over achievers, and Creighton is a great environment for our branch of the human species. hahaha! Homework is really harsh too. I procrastinate a lot, and it usually takes around 5 hours... Overall, I recomend it to Gited/Talented people.

WE think the purple team is great. My third child is finishing the program and all three have benefitted significantly from the fine instruction and rigorous expectations of the teachers

In many ways, Creighton's 'Gifted and Talented' program has been good for our daughter. She's around other kids who are interested in learning and not too interested in more typical 'cool' peer pressures which detract from learning. However we find that several of her teachers are not helpful or not really interested in helping the kids learn.They simply go through the motions, and let the kids sink or swim on their own. They're not excited about what they teach and therefore the kids miss the opportunity to become excited about what they are learning. These few teachers should not be teaching gifted children. The principals in the school seem to be much more interested in discipline than in creating an exciting, healthy learning environment. They are not in touch with these kids at all.
