The teachers are great and they have the YMCA program there. That is a total extra bonus.

I've had 3 kids go through Spring Creek and have no complaints. They are always happy to get up and go in the morning and have had great experiences. I feel good about this, as I have friends who have had bad experiences with their kids grade schools.

Spring Creek Elementry is the best school in the school because the kids learn something new every day. Your kids may not like school but they will love the people the kids and teacher. Your kids will make new friends each day no matter how shy the are. You should make shure your kids there too that school I useed to live in Springfield but I drove them all the way to Eugene Monday - Friday.

Spring creek elementrry is one of the best schools out there. My kids come home from school every day saying I can not wait to go to school tommrow. If you send your kids to that school they will learn math, reading, technology and art they will really want to go to school the next day. Your kids might not light school but they will love the kids there they will make friends and a lot of friends.

I agree with the first statement. Teacher Dependent. Also same gripe with supplies. My son was in the 'title' program when he first transferred from a deficient private K. The K teach said title would be great and we saw immed. results. First grade I was called in 3 times about how he did not test to standard for reading, but didn't feel title was right for him. After his first week of 2nd grade, his new teacher got him into title right away. Teacher dependent!

We've had nothing but a positive experience here. Teachers and environment are wonderful. Kids are safe and respectful. Lots of parental involvement and school events to bring everyone together. It's been great.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
