Hickory Creek Middle School

This school is STUPENDOUS! My name`s Dana Co, and my younger brother and I go there. I like it because the teachers are smart and nice, and the students are really nice, too.

Excellent teachers, challenging curriculum, and a safe, friendly environment make this a wonderful choice for middle school. Not a lot of bullying or social problems. This school does a great job of preparing students for the challenges of high school

My two children attended the Frankfort schools and both did well in them and have done well in college. Outstanding teachers made all of the difference!!!!

I have no idea who the idealist writing some of these comments is, but they haven't seen this school on the inside. We have become desensitized to the constant surveillance, and the platitudes they constantly stuff down our throats. They try to tell us that there is a right way to think with their 'Character Counts' program. Very few students actually give a crap about this stuff, and in general, we tune it out. Not to say that their isn't good stuff going on in this school: student-teacher relations are, I have found, excellent. But I have met several teachers, not just students, who have expressed frustration at the general atmosphere present and leadership in this institution-like place of learning. That is not the kind of thing you want, disrupting communication from the teachers to the principal. Major problems going on here.

This school is awful. The atmosphere inside makes you feel like you are in a jail cell. There are cameras everywhere and it freaks everyone out. We hardly ever do anything fun. Do not move to Frankfort!

I have gone to Hickory Creek for two years now. So far I have enjoyed the extra-cirrucular activites that they have. To name some: band, basketball, choir, stage crew, volleyball, baseball, mathletes, and the musical production. Encore, which consists of P.E., health, music, technology, art, and foreign language, is very fun and extremely informing. The staff at this amazing school have many great qualities. The teachers are basically your friends here. Nearly every student in H.C.M.S. isn't afraid to ask their teach for help. The teachers also have a way of weaving the information into a fun game. They also use current events as examples which keeps kids informed about whats happening in the world today. When we talk about current events many debates occur. Ninety-nine percent of the time the teachers are splendid with our little arguments about what's happening. This school's amazing! There are many more qualities!

I think this school has a great quality of academic programs. Ever since my child has started at this school she has told me so much about how she loves music and gym.She even tried out for the cheerleading team and made it! I am happy that i can be involved in such great academic and extracurricula activities.!

This school earns high scores in academics! My daughter has had the opportunity to take classes that are not offered at many other middle schools. It has a wonderful music program and offers many extracurricular activites. There is a bulling program and an advisory class that helps them to learn and cope with problems related to their age.
