Broad Creek Middle School

Experience - three kids. Awesome school with Caring/tough teachers who lead kids in quest for excellence in education. Couple Examples- Math teacher Mr Whitley has taken home the "math counts" Algebra team award for the past decade or so...best in NC. Wrestling coach as well...feeding Croatan which has the state champion wrestling team. Mrs Garmin, 8th grade science, makes science real and fascinating...My son went from her class to an AP class at Croatan HS the next year and got a 4 on the AP exam...

Could not find a better middle school if you tried!

I wrote a very long review of this school that was not posted and that concerns me. This school is in definite need of an administrative overhaul. The atmosphere is very negative and do not expect your child to have an uplifting experience. The children that attend this school are from mostly good homes but they are treated like prisoners. What is sad is the county administration has been told this for the past several years but because 'test scores' are high, they must be doing something right. As a military parent, I have seen many military leaders accomplish great things on the backs of their people and I equivocate this same principle to what is been happening at Broad Creek. The last posting was by the principal and I guess she was trying to convince herself.

This is the first year our daughter has ever attended a public school. For 7 years she attended a Private Christian School out of town and we all loved it. Needless to say, we were very reluctant about a public school but after investigating Christian Schools in the area, we opt to send her to Broad Creek. We had heard great things about the school and during the summer we took a visit over to the school and walked the grounds, inside and out. From day one, she was leary, scared and comprehensive and she really had a hard time adjusting. The Assistant Principle, Mrs. Fritz, The School Counselors, Mrs. Toodle and Mrs. Peters, and the Secretary, Kim Fagley, even the Asst. Secretary, Mrs. Starcke, were all absolutely wonderful! The staff I mentioned above were all so very patient and cooperative with me and my husband. Mr Weist, her Math teacher and head of her Class, was wonderful and patient as well. I recommend this school to anyone that is hesitant because I can truly say that no one there gives up. They honestly care and they truly put the student/child first.
