We are so happy and excited to be with Plymouth Creek! One of the very best! I know my son is off to the right start with this school!
—Submitted by a parent

We had a boundry change and my son (5th Grader) had a choice to move to Plymouth Creek if he wanted to, We went to the open house and my son liked the school ambience. The transition was so smooth, my kid did'nt feel like he was a new student throughout his school year. The kids were great and welcomed him,he enjoyed his whole year (It was a big relief for us as parents as our son was always picked on/bullied in his previous school) We have a first grader who is thoroughly enjoying Plymouth Creek. Thanks to all the staff and members of Plymouth Creek

My Son has had an excellent year at Plymouth Creek. We were not sure whether to start him in K this year or hold him back since he is one of the younger kids. We were not dissapointed, as his teacher was able to inspire him to learn every day. He is excited to go to school and we could not be happier.

My child is one of a hsndful of African Americans in the school. I do believe that the teachers and faculty expect the worse from the African American students. We have not had the best experience.
