GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Middle creek is not a bad school by any means, it's actually above average, But it fails at fixing typical school problems. -Great teachers but horrible administration/staff -objectively speaking, kids from higher income family's succeed the most here. -environment that feels fake -god forbid someone wants to do something bad here they easily could Thats just a few problems but you can keep adding to this list and then some more petty ones.

I feel as though the counselors and administration cold have been more helpful to the students. Sports teams at the school are great and so are the clubs. iI wish that the counselors would help us succeed more.

I have a daughter that is a sophomore at Middle Creek who enjoys her days there. She feels safe, included, respected by students and faculty, challenged and exposed to opportunity. I feel welcomed whenever I am there...be it to drop off something, to volunteer or to attend an event. This school has...
