Dive into learning at Daves Creek Elementary School, home of the Dolphins. This Cognia-certified STEM school gives kids a strong foundation with hands-on learning to reinforce principles through experience. Daves Creek Elementary is one of Georgia's top public elementary schools, ranking exceptionally well on test scores and student progress.
The school hosts a highly diverse student body with approximately 1,200 kindergarten through fifth grade students. It offers one of its "specials" classes in Global Connections to help kids discover other cultures. Other "specials" courses allow students to pursue interests in music and art, explore science in the STEM lab or robotics lab, and have fun while working out in physical education. Competition teams in math and science fields allow kids to show what they know and compete against other schools.
Before and after the bell rings, Daves Creek students can join The Dolphin Cove program, which lets kids get a jump on homework, participate in organized games and recreation, and enjoy snacks with friends. Daves Creek Elementary School, a winner of the U.S. Department of Education's Blue Ribbon School award, prepares students for a lifetime of learning.

As a student at this school, I would say that the school has many great opportunities, many programs, and many after-school things. Also, they have many classes for people with special needs, like speech (which I had all grade levels at this school.), special EDU, and more.
