I have a daughter that is a sophomore at Middle Creek who enjoys her days there. She feels safe, included, respected by students and faculty, challenged and exposed to opportunity. I feel welcomed whenever I am there...be it to drop off something, to volunteer or to attend an event. This school has a naturally positive environment. I like Mr. Williams style of leadership...he is always present but not always front and center. The only thing that keeps this school from being excellent, in my opinion, is the limited elective course offerings. Otherwise, this school is great, great high school.
Great teachers, school spirit, and honors courses.
My daughter is starting her third year at MCHS. She has really enjoyed her classes. She is really impressed with her teachers and loves the student/teacher interaction. She is doing great! There are plenty of after-school activities to choose from which gives her a chance to interact with teachers and other students outside the classroom.
I am a parent of a 10th grader who transferred to Middle Creek High from another state. She loves the block schedule. Her honors and AP courses are great for her, although not as challenging as I would like. She has met a lot of new friends and is very happy with the school.
Middle Creek High School is a wonderful school, in one of Apex best neighborhoods. The faculty is ALWAYS helpful and pushes us to do the best we can. But the best part of the school are the students, I have rarely encoutered any rude or violent kids their. We have such a variety of students and for the most part we all good along with each other. We have a strong team spirit and are very sports worthy. Go MUSTANGS! (A fellow Sophomore Class of '011)
i graduated from middle creek high school a few years ago, and it is a wonderful school. my younger sister now attends middle creek high school and loves it as well. mr williams and his entire staff runs the school very well...its great...i was honestly heart broken when i was told that i was being transfered from garner to middle creek high but by the time i graduated i loved it.
The guidance staff at Middle Creek High school is superb. I call frequenlty to get transcripts for my daughters college and schlarships the records office is always so pleasant to deal with (compared to my sons old school which was the total opposite). The teachers truly care about my daughter and she has a great group of friends she has meet at school. Highly reccomend this school.
Teachers do not seem to care. Even honors classes seem to be lacking on a major level. Teachers seem lost and confused with the excess amount of time in one class period (90 minutes, which in my opinion is to long). After attending the school for 3 full weeks I had never seen the principle (this was also in the middle of the year). I was a new student from Long Island, NY that transferred mid-year and the school refused to accept my credits, my parents had no choice but to send me back to NY so I could finish my schools year. This schools I believe is at a lower level than unsatisfactory.
The teachers and adminstrative staff are beyond superior. We came from another state which had high expectations, but my child has excelled even more. It is a safe and pleasant environment for all students. The teachers really care and relate to the students which is a really great thing. The teachers always make themselves available to the students. Great School!
Teachers and principals accessible. Teachers expect kids to do well and are always there for extra help after school. I ffel my child is learning a lot and will be well prepared for the rigors of college.
