This is our first year at Reedy Creek Middle. We like it because it is a diverse school where parents seem to be involved. The teachers are available and seem to be open to interaction with parents. The Algebra teacher, Mrs. Shelfo, is excellent and they have a tutorial program after school for students taking Algebra I. The Principal seems to really care about improving the school and is accessible. My 2 concerns are with the number of times my child has had to redo an assignment after handing it in because the teacher said she didn't get it and the lack of homework. My child typically only has math and AR reading homework. I am concerned about them going to high school and all of a sudden having a lot of homework, something they will not be accustomed to .

I have a 6th grader at Reedy Creek this year, and we have been very happy with the academics, teachers, and administrators. There are some truly extraordinary teachers at this school.

First, if you are into athletics - we love the AD (and all the other non-paid generous with thier free time coaches as well) at this school! How fortunate are we? The Administration, the staff, the teachers... they are all wonderfful, compassionate and more than generous with their free time. As a parent, you could'nt ask for a more academic, culturally diverse, fun, dynamic and much rewarding experience! We feel very fortunate to be part of this awesome team! Lovin' RCMS!

RCMS is not a very good school not too bad. Student in middleschool and not having enough home work! Also large number of student in class is ok but student needs to be circulate so each student should get enough attention and not feel ignored. This may help each student to stay active and more interesting.

I am from out of state and came from a city with an awful school district. You can actually count on one hand, the decent schools in this very large city. I say this to say that parents and students should be greatful for Reedy Creek. I have a 7th grader at the school and I really like it. The teachers, staff and administration have all been welcoming and friendly. The teachers have done a good job communicating with me about my son as well as they use 'Thinkwave' a system where you can track your children's grades, assignments, absences and tardies. This is an excellent system for busy parents (like myself) to stay on top of their children's progress. I also love the the fact that the school has a good blend of cultures and ethnicities. Overall Reedy Creek is great.

I have two children who go here, 6th and 8th. I think it is a wonderful school. The principals are great. Only thing I do not like is they have no outside time. Other than that, it is a challenging school, which is good for all children. There aren't many fights and stuff either. My children have been to way worse schools, I think this is the best one yet.

I was very hesitant about sending my daughter to RCMS, but it has turned out to be a decent year, mainly because she has had some fantastic teachers in the 6th grade. The school is on block scheduling, which I don't think is needed. My child finishes all of her homework in class and I think it's because the teachers actually don't need an entire hour and half of instructional time. Also, the block schedule leaves very little time for outside academic interests and I do have to say that the one thing I absolutely hate about this school are the elective choices. They seem geared towards lower performing/non academically inclined students.

I loved East Cary Middle. Even though it is large in size I still found that there was a close student-teacher relationship. For a public middle school, it is one of the best.
