Yes the test scores are high. That seems to be a huge emphasis. The principal is in denial about the burned out, tenured teachers. Most teachers are excellent with only x2 bad apples, which is very good for a public school. They took a week off in observance of presidents day. Parental progress is measured in fundraising dollars generated. Overall a good school, not a great school, with some obvious flaws.
Both my children attended this great school, and I can say that I miss it a lot! from high academic expectations and very qualified teachers, they even have a school psychologist, and hold SST meetings with great concern for challenged kids. Star testing scores are way obove state average.Big thumbs up!!
My child has ADHD and is gifted. This school has developed behavioral programs with incentives for my child and helped her achieve in every way. They really bent over backwards to help me and her without judgement. Standards are high as they should be. My only complaint is the pressure on kids to sell giftwrap to earn money for the school. Especially so early in the school year. I'd rather make a donation and be done with it. More PE would be good as well. Some teachers are young with only a few years experience but seem to be really good, so I think the principal knows how to hire quality staff. Everyone from the teachers, principal, guidance counselor, nurse, and front office staff are truly exceptional. The after school child development program is pretty good and the enrichment classes cost money but are convenient, especially for working parents.
Carmel Creek Elementary is a very good school when it comes to basic learning. There are only 3-4 male teachers in the entire school. There is not much emphasis on PE (15 minutes per day I think?). Tag is banned before school and possibly at recess. Parental involvement is excellent. Fundraising is constant. Also many events are geared towards fundraising.
