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.

Compared to schools around the country, Middle Creek is a very strong school in academics, but compared to other schools in the county, were pretty average with a below-average building and bad infrastructure.

Middle creek is not a bad school by any means, it's actually above average, But it fails at fixing typical school problems. -Great teachers but horrible administration/staff -objectively speaking, kids from higher income family's succeed the most here. -environment that feels fake -god forbid someone wants to do something bad here they easily could Thats just a few problems but you can keep adding to this list and then some more petty ones.

I have a daughter that is a sophomore at Middle Creek who enjoys her days there. She feels safe, included, respected by students and faculty, challenged and exposed to opportunity. I feel welcomed whenever I am there...be it to drop off something, to volunteer or to attend an event. This school has...
