Kelly Creek Elementary School

My child has gone to Kelly Creek since Kindergarden. This will be her last year. I volunteer a lot of my time in the class room and have gotten to know the staff and teachers fairly well. I am impressed with all they have to juggle and how well they do it. There is a real concern for the students and they do try and deal with problems before they get out of hand. All the staff are great! From the custodians to the principle, everyone is there for the students. I would highly recommend Kelly Creek! What I would encourage is more parent envolvement with their kids at home. I see kids who could excell if their parents would put time into their reading habits and talk to them about their homework. Great PTC!

My children spent three years at Kelly Creek before we had to move out of the area. I would highly recomend this shcool. My experience with the teachers from Kindergarten to Fifth grade was all positive. If I had any concerns, they were open to resolve them, help my children with school work if it was difficult for them, were open to communication by phone, email or in person also. They love having parent volunteers and show you they really appreciate it. Mr. Goerke and the office staff are really wonderful also. Your children will be taken care of beautifully if you choose to send them to Kelly Creek elementary.

I've had an excellent experience with the school. I've been able to approach teachers and the principle to voice concerns and ask questions without any problem. I always feel heard, and problems are frequently resolved quickly. The teachers and staff are very friendly, and they display respect toward the kids (very important). I have a background in education and am very impressed with how the teachers have managed to balance government standards, helping students with disabilities, managing individual student behavior, and making learning fun. But the must successful kids are the ones who have parents who take an active role in teaching their kids outside of the classroom; we can't expect the schools to do it all. I'm certainly a fan of Kelly Creek Elem.

Im a parent of a child that is student at Kelly Creek. I only have one concern with the school and admin. Once I raised questions with the schools homework polices, and asked direct questions to my childs teacher on the same regard. To my suprise I was told not to come to the school unanounced, and that my questioning of the schools homework was not wanted. I really find it humorous that a teacher can't justifiy her assiments to her student without first consulting with others. If someone was to ask why I do something, at least I could tell them why if is that I do it. I was asked not to come back to the school at all. That tho I never raised my voice, and only asked direct question, I was labled as a threat. Questioning the schools is not a threat its our right as parents.

Kelly Creek is a wonderful school that is rich in a diverse student population and a staff that truly cares. Volunteers make KC a better school for our students. Principal Goerke is very friendly and approachable.
