As a parent of two who attended Stone Creek, I was thoroughly pleased with every aspect of the school. My child's teachers were some of the best I have ever experienced.

Stone Creek Elem. School is one of the worst schools I've been to. I was considering taking my life because I did not like how I was treated by the principal and teachers at that school.

I truely believe Stone Creek is one of the best schools in the state of Ga. You could not ask for a more devoted and caring staff. I am so thankful for all they do to give the students a great start to life thank you Sandra Gamble

Stone Creek is one the best schools I have ever been acquainted with. Mr. Culberson has done a wonderful job as principal. He's always out greeting and talking to students and parents and always supportive. They have the best staff and faculty I have ever seen. My son loves school thanks to all the caring people who make learning fun there. I'd recommend this school to anyone.
