Deer Creek Middle School

Posted June 9, 2008

I have been at Deer Creek since 1st grade and in elementary it was great! But when I hit middle school it all went down hill... fast. So many girls doing bad things, a lot of pressure to have these certain things (clothes, purses, cell phones, electronics, etc.), and the teachers didn't seem to really want to connect and help us learn. Now I have had a few teachers that were just great, but others didn't care. Also we are growing like no other! They can barely fit us in the school and 30 kids to a small room. Principal leadership is not very good, neither counsler or teacher leadership. Eventually most kids get lost like I did- unless they are 'popular', but not in the good way... It is just growing way to fast!! So I am getting out of that mess and going to a different school.

We love DCMS! The staff and adminitration is A+ ! Students learn through hands-on means and the teachers seem well prepared. My children have launched rockets, built catapults, written brilliant essays, produced outstanding art, and are 2 years advanced in math. Obviously, our school is doing something right. Thanks DCMS!

The middle school education seem less rigorous than the education my children got in elementary school. Especially in math, I don't feel my children are getting skills and habits needed to be successful in math over the long term. They have almost no homework on a daily basis. Why stress the children out so much in elementary school, then just coast in middle school?

It appears to me that discipline is lacking. Issues regarding bullying and teasing when reported do not seem to get much of a response by the principle.
