The school has superb leadership in Mrs. Paschal - this level of dedication trickles down to her staff and to the teachers. Mrs. Hickmon is the heartbeat of the school! And, the diversity in the student body is special in how it bridges people of different cultures. And, the PTO along with the parents are supportive in making STCE the best it can be!

This school is amazing - our children have blossomed with their love, patience, understanding, superb teaching skills - all balanced to create a winning combination. I can honestly say I feel really positive about dropping them off there everyday, knowing they will receive the best from each of the staff that they have to offer.

It's a school that has dedicated students,staff, administration, and parents. I am lucky enough to be on both sides of the fence and get to see behind the scenes. Our teachers are by far the best!

Every single person loves what they do and loves the children; everyone smiles and always has a pleasant greeting. Staff and volunteers always try their best and go above and beyond the ordinary.

Stevens Creek Elementary is a great school! The teachers and staff are very loving and nurturing to the students at the school and foster a love of learning in the kids. My daughter, who is a fourth grader, really likes her teachers and has excelled in school this year. This is my daughter's first year at Stevens Creek Elementary, since we are new to the area. We wanted to buy a house in this school district because it has such a great reputation. Stevens Creek Elementary has lived up to that reputation and has exceeded my expectations. We moved here from Washington State, and I have been impressed with Columbia County's public schools in comparison to the school district we were in in Washington.

My son's teacher (Mrs. Blackburn) has been the most loving teacher that I think I have ever seen. They have helped him develop academically, socially, and emotionally. He had that one teacher that he will never forget.
