Eagle Creek Academy

My son is starting his 5th year at Eagle Creek. We are very pleased with the small class sizes, compassionate teachers and the close-knit family environment. I have and will continue to recommend Eagle Creek to other families.

This was our first year at Eagle Creek, and we couldn't be more pleased. Our children were in the third grade and junior kindergarten. We found the environment to be warm, the academics to be challenging but not overwhelming, and the staff was AMAZING. My children LOVED going to school, to the point that they wave to the school if we drive by on days off. Their teachers were not only well educated, but they really fostered my childrens' love of learning, and provided them with a safe, secure, and exciting learning environment. We feel that our expectations as well as our childrens' needs on an academic, social, and emotional level were met and exceeded. The children were encouraged to excel in their studies, and have fun doing so. I love that the classroom max of 28 students, and the student to teacher ratio of 14:1. I appreciate that the principal is consistently looking at ways to improve the school, it's value, and quality, and that she values parent input in those processes. My children felt important, loved, and valued. We feel that they are getting an excellent foundation that they will be able to carry through their school years and into whatever life brings them.

We switched our kids to ECA this last year, because we were so disappointed with the local public school. We are so pleased that our kids have both had a wonderful year. The teachers were warm and encouraging, the students welcoming, and fellow parents so involved. Our kids learned so much and gained confidence. For anyone that is looking for individualized attention, the staff to student ratios are fantastic!

The smaller class size is the number one reason we finally chose ECA for our children, followed by the quality of the teacher. Our kindergarten teacher was fantastic. She encouraged the children to excel and challenged them to exceed expectations. Because of the intimate class size she was able to fine-tune her approach to each child when teaching and the results were evident. ECA has a strong and nurturing community where children are really cared for by the faculty, administration and even the other families. The school knows every family by name. We receive weekly feedback from the teacher as well as the principal on how the kids are doing. The parent involvement is also wonderful. Great children great families. There isn t a family that walks by that doesn t smile or wave it is just a nice place to be and to be a part of. We are extremely happy.

We decided to put our son at ECA because of their small class size and junior kindergarten program. As we come to the close of the 2009-2010 school year, we could not be more pleased with our decision to enroll our son at Eagle Creek. He is excelling academically and has matured incredibly well. The teachers made efforts to insure he had diverse experiences that has helped build a great foundation. The teachers have been absolutely fantastic. Also, as more students enrolled during the school year, ECA added teachers to maintain the class size to continue to insure the students recieved very focused learning opportunities.

2009-2010 is our first year at Eagle Creek. We enrolled for two major reasons: low student-to-teacher ratio and high academic standards. Smaller class size enables teachers to conduct assessments early in the academic year and design a specific learning plan for each child. My third grader received the one-on-one support she needing to improve her reading skills. High academic expectations are met because teachers can focus on each child s specific needs. My first grader started as an emerging reader; by April, she was reading at third grade level. The teachers are outstanding. They re easy to communicate with and truly care for their students. Kids can t be happy unless their teachers are happily employed! Our kids LOVE to come to school and thrive in this very individualized, caring environment. We were promised a LOT, and Eagle Creek has delivered. We re delighted!

My children attended Eagle Creek and I became increasingly disappointed with the school. We were promised many extra curricular classes and quality classes when we signed up. It became aware to us very quickly that others were also promised many things and the owner had no intention on fulfilling her promises. We were told what she thought we wanted to hear until we signed the contract. Many parents I have talked to are also very angry. I do not recommend this school to anyone. The science program is weak. That is another thing that they told us that they excelled at. The school is cutting back dramatically and not letting anyone know ahead of time. The owner/principle is also impossible to deal with about this matter.

Having just joined the Eagle Creek community, we could not be happier with our experiences thus far. Our daughter is so enthused about school and very motivated in this wonderful environment. There is definitely a difference in education at Eagle Creek!

We are very happy to be part of the Eagle Creek Community. Everyone there works together to provide the students with a wonderful educational experience. The small class sizes give the opportunity for the teachers to know the strengths and weaknesses of each student. You don't have to wait for conferences to know how your child is doing. The teachers are in constant communication with the parents through conversations before and after school, emails, phone calls, and weekly class newsletters. It is a great place to feel involved with your child's education.

My husband and I are very fortunate in that we can choose where we send our daughter to school. This Fall, she will enter 7th grade--and this year marks the third year we've chosen Eagle Creek Academy. Initially drawn by ECA teacher and instructor profiles, curriculum, class size and the beauty of the facility, we quickly found it easy to establish productive partnerships with faculty, staff and other parents. We've found Cathy Rondeau to be open, flexible and clearly committed to excellence for the children at ECA. Our family is looking forward to another outstanding year with the ECA community.
