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.

Mallard Creek is a good school, but things can get hectic with sorting some things out. Especially when it comes to bus information

My best experience is doing a club called DECA it's helping me build my leadership skills and going out of my comfort zone. I also get to connect with kids from other schools with the same interests. My worst experience would be the lack of teachers even though I know it is not the schools fault it was really hard for me to do Math 1 without a teacher. Some things I would like to see change would be more parent involvement my parents have asked me about parent opportunities and I could give them an answer besides the PTA.

The staff is rude also. Teachers swear often and have no problem cursing out your kid. The students i...

My experience has went from a paradise to a nightmare since the new administration has come in. No professional skills what so ever. This school has really gone down.
