very unfriendly school, no activities for children like cedar ridge...and the lack of want to teach kids to speak the proper way in very disappointing, just because we are in the south do we have to talk so uneducated?

I AM DISGRACED BY A SCHOOL THAT TEACHES CHILDREN TO USE THE WORD "FIXING" INCORRECTLY...LIKE THE CLASS IS FIXING TO GO TO ART... THAT IS NOT PROPER AND IS CONSIDERED SLANG WHERE I COME FROM. YOU DO NOT FIX TO GO SOMEWHERE, FIX IS WHAT YOU DO WHEN SOMETHING IS BROKEN

This is the best school that I have ever been in. All of the teachers are awesome and so is the principal. I could never imagine my children going to a different school. My children love going to school everyday. It is absolutely great:))

Euchee Creek has an awesome faculty and has an environment which is conducive to learning. Each teacher has gone above and beyond our expectations and always acts to promote the best interest of every student. My children love this school! The principals know each child by name and is committed to ensuring that they succeed to their potential. Euchee Creek, you are truly engineering success!

Euchee Creek is an awsome school! I have never felt out of place or not welcome in this school. The teachers that I have delt with truly treat my child as if he is their only student. I have never pulled out of the school parking lot feeling uneasy about leaving my child there. I know that he is in very capable hands. Why this school was on the 'Needs to Improve' list for Georgia schools is beyond me!

Euchee Creek is a very good school. The quality of teachers is one of the best in Columbia County. They really care about the students and want them to excel in acedemics. The principal is concerned about doing a good job in the school, therefore, she is involved in all aspects of the learning process. If more of the parents would get involved in their childrens learning process, the school would be an excellent school. Too many of the children do not have enough input and concern from parents and this is what has put the school on the 'Needs to Improve' list for Georgia schools.

Euchee Creek is a great school. The staff is very personable and caring. They know each student and connect with the parents. Not only do they strive to provide the best education for the children but they put out that helping hand to the parents. With more parent envolvement there is no limit to what this school could accomplish.They always have that helping hand extended to the families of the children. My child has attended Euchee Creek since kindergarten and I have always been able to leave him and go to work with a great feeling of confidence and comfort that he will not only be safe but also treated like like he is one of their own. Thank you Euchee Creek. another parent

This school welcomes parents to come in and get involved. The principal is tough but fair. 98% of the teachers are not just good but outstanding. Half of the PTA board is teachers because they care so much about the kids. The only place with room for improvement does not actually lie with the school but with the parents. Even though they are welcomed to get involved too many do not do so. This little school puts on many programs for the parents and children and has won awards for its arts in education programs and last year even gave every child in the school a brand new book as school ended to promote summer reading. They really go the extra mile.
