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.

The best part of my experience was the activities. You can build real bonds in the sports and activities. I also like the resources for mental health provided there. I didn't like the transportation issues within dual enrollment and how the staff tried to act like you don't know anything.

My experience at Creekside has been nothing but exciting. I've attended Creekside all 4 years, and I don't regret my time spent here. I've made many connections and lifelong memories. I'll always recommend going to Creekside not only for the academics, but the many programs offered. Creekside has something for everyone, no matter what you're post-high school plans are.

Creekside High School has several professional educators and some dedicated parents. The new principal has done an excellent job of assembling an administrative staff that seems engage. However, he (the principal), doesn't. His passive approach to deal with situations head on makes one question his...
