Started school at creekside my sophomore year and i'm glad I came to the right school in my county. The athletics and academic programs are on point and they made sure to hold students accountable for their actions, while also congratulating their achievements and accomplishments.

When it comes to Creekside, you can tell the admin care about what they do. However, the education system treats them poorly and this can stem into the education the students are receiving. I also believe that students may struggle to find a voice or resources if they don't have connections within the school.

Ever since being rezoned to creekside, it has been fun and welcoming. Staff is great and some of the students are chill.

Creekside HS has a GREAT Agriculture program, Band and AVID Program. It was just featured in the AJC about their dual enrollment program.

What is the purpose of a school? The purpose is for kids to have a safe and cooperative learning environment when they can make friends and study. Except in this school, new kids are left out the very first day form activities. What ever happened to talking to the new kids on the first day of school...
