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.

For the last 2 years that I have been a student for Creekside High School I can honestly say that my grades have gone up then what they were before at my old high school especially because of faculty involvement.

Being a student a Creekside High School have taught me many things as a student. The best part about being at Creekside is the relationship with our teachers and how we can talk to them about any thing not just regarding school. The only thing bad about Creekside is that we don't have many events at the school that brings everyone to togethor like pep rally's ,student market days and etc.
