The principal and teachers care about the students and try to help any way they can. I am so thankful that I switched my child to John's Creek Elem. School.

My father, my siblings and I, my children, and now my grandchildren all attended or are now attending this great school. I have seen it grow and advance into the largest school in our county, yet it still has that feeling of 'community'. The students are known by all the teachers and administration and are treated as 'family'. I received an excellent education at Johns Creek , as well as my children, and now my grandchildren. The academic team is constantly winning awards for excellence and the staff and administration all work together for the benefit of the students. I wouldn't want my grandchildren to get their education anywhere else!

Johns Creek School has been a top school in the county since it became a K through eight school. Kentucky test scores show continual improvement in academic areas. Not only is it the top school in the county, but it is the largest. Yes it does service a large area of the county but many parents send their students there from other school districts in the county due to the schools good academic reputation. Not only academics are strong, (Johns Creek has a state bound academic team yearly, winning the state quick recall tournament in 2005, but Johns Creek has a strong Little League program as well as providing football, basketball,(boys and girls), volleyball, a dance team, speech team, spelling team, and cheerleading for students who want to participate in extra curricular activities.

This School is the best k-8 school in Pike County. I went to school there when I was in school before it was just a grade school. Both my kids and my large list of family's kids love this school. They take the time to help each and every student who needs it. I know this to be a fact because I have been in need of help with one of my kids in reading. They did not stop until they had him reading..not just reading but reading well! Check the test scores for this school. That should tell you what you need to know.

Johns Creek Elementary has came along way and is still inproving more everyday. My children like going to school there, most every teacher takes the time to see that the children are getting a great education. I have a child that goes there that has developmental delays and they have been a great help trying to find ways to make learning easier for him. I went to Johns Creek when it was a high school and it has changed alot in the last few years as I see when I am there.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
