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.

We have had wonderful experiences with all of the teachers that our children have had at Bluff Creek. Communication is most important to me and for the most part, teachers have been very proactive in letting us know the good, the bad and the fun/ny. It shows they really care and take the extra moment to share what is going on with my child during the school day.

It's elementary school - It's great. It's fine. We've been pleased. Spelling tests and reading assignments have been challenging, but fun. The new math techniques have been frustrating as a parent and we feel there should be EXAMPLES sent home to better help when kiddos have questions with their math homework. The math textbooks have been disappointing.

Kindest most supportive school faculty I’ve ever encountered! This school was exactly what we needed! The community was amazing & so welcoming! The principal Mrs. Holm is just the kindest person ever. The school is also newer with more resources!!! Do NOT go to Chan elementary.

The Continuous Progress model is exceptional as they truly are able to ensure that kids are maximizing their le...
