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.

My daughter started from 1st Grade and graduated from Big Creek ES. She still talks about her grade teachers and the influence they had on her. My daughter made friends from 1st grade and stayed with her in Middle School. As parents we made friends that are still in our lives. Big Creek was more than a school for our daughter it was a close knit community.
