Have had nothing but problems from the get-go. Seemingly rude and ignorant people have decided to…read morebuild a school platform that is exclusively for a select few families and their respective children that they wish to teach. A school centered around the teacher's needs rather than inclusivity for new families entering their school for the first time at high school level. My child's current teacher borders on verbal abuse, with her attitudes fueled by her own ignorance and judgements. The school counselor in 2020-2021 went out of her way to personally check on a highly sensitive family matter, above and beyond her duty to ethically report, breeching the ethics of her position and the confidence she attempted to build up with my child. Total trust violations since day one is my consensus. The school receptionist in 2020 did not make eye contact with me and only addressed my child directly when we came in together to get her enrolled. My child and I feel blacklisted for unknown reasons and the "we live in a small town," attitude is not digestible in this case. Taking my concerns to the school board for harassment/profiling and negligence. There are not adequate resources available for children with 504 plans, this aspect of my child's experience has been exploited by the administration and teachers who truly do not bother or appear willing to learn about their students and their families. Their parent/school communicator application is one-sided, parents can reply, however, their remarks can only be viewed by the administrators themselves. Believe you me, I fill out my annual parent survey as a bare minimum contribution but there isn't ever enough information provided in direct response (feedback). I feel too defeated by these obstacles mentioned, that now feel overwhelmingly harmful, despite my wanting to do more for my child and her school. I have commented several times about this from the start, which has fallen on deaf ears. My daughter's administrator and teacher have not considered the health and safety of my child on major intervention strategies implemented by me, her parent, in coordination with the school and county mental health programs. I am exhausted as a mom by the brokenness of our local education system, in particular, with poorly qualified or uninspired, ill-informed administrators. Consider this my white flag. I have been patient and diligent and we have not gotten the same respect in return.

The football field/track area was beautiful. I love how the bleachers are built into the hills. The…read morebiggest downfall is it is not handicap accessible at all. There is no way into the field without using stairs and no way up to the bleachers without stairs. We were on the visitor side so I cannot say if the home side is set up the same way but even if they have wheelchair accessibility on the home side, what do they expect the visitors to do? This is a huge issue.

The Deer Creek staff is AMAZING. They are everything a school should be, even for high-needs neurodiverse kids. The teachers and principal and janitors all care so deeply for the children, they know them by name and each child feels special and valued. I wish we'd started here from the beginning!

For "stuff", this school gets a perfect 2.5 of 2.5. The huge negative is communication and planning. In terms of staffing I'd give a 0.0 of 2.5. I'm not okay with my kid attending a school that doesn't communicate to parents and give snotty responses to inquiries over the summer. Their favorite answer "you'll know when we know." Great, except nobody knew until 3 days before school started. And there's no before school care program, which is needed for our living/work situation.

The owner is an exceptionally loving, nurturing person. She has a staff that is equally caring. They provide a safe, creative, educational, playful environment. They are always doing something fun with the kids at very age. Weather it's celebrating Chinese New Year, Christmas, Hanukkah, learning about autumn harvest, or settling down for story time on a rainy day, it's always interesting, and fun for the kids. As a Mother that works full time. I'm so grateful for this place and the people that run it. I've never been disappointed.
