Reedy creek is the best school I have ever been to. My 4th grade teacher Mrs. Munz is the best she has helped me improve so much. Unfortunately i'm moving so this is my last year but I highly recommend reedy creek elementary.

Mr. Evans is what makes this school so great, best principal my 4 kids have ever had. Out of all the years my kids have been going to this school not once have we had a bad teacher. Keep up the good work!

My 3 kids went here last year and they loved this school. I thought the principal, Mr. Evans, is an amazing principal who really cares about the students by getting to their level through incentive programs such as earning "frogs" for good class behavior. He was willing to dress up like Hannah Montana, have ice cream with the kids, or sing songs with them. This is a perfect example of a great educator who wants a high morale for the students and community. I can't say enough great things. Out of the many schools my kids went to, I found him to be the best principal. Also, the teachers (1st and 5th) were excellent. Great communication and provided fun activities for the students.

Avoid the CCK program at this school if at all possible. The program at this particular school has been problematic for several parents in the past. The classroom environment is unorganized and did not prepare my child for mainstream entry.

My son is in Kindergarten and loves his teacher. The school is always doing some kind of activity to keep the parents involved.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
