There are fake reviews out about this school I decided I would be brave and post a legit review in hopes there would be justice and I can spread the word. This school has failed many children. The principal gave my child to a stranger with tented windows that tried to kidnap my child; there is Violence with no protocols and No justice. The staff is very unprofessional and some of the teachers are very disrespectful. In result the children are out of control. The re is no homework. The school curriculum is very poor. My family members have volunteered we have countless proof and we have documented everything with the board of education the principal is hanging on by a hair. So first grade my son got hit in the mouth with a massive rock. His front teeth were broken and the kid admitted he didn't know why he did it. He just did it. The principal went on to say she is friends with the mother of the other child and she wasn't planning on doing any disciplinary actions. She put both kids right back in the same class and my son cried for a week seeing the same boy everyday but we coached him through it. A week later my son was hit with a tree branch but the same child. Same situation No consequences. There was a child pushing my sons lunch on the floor everyday until I sat with the class at lunch and said something to the teacher while it was happening. Kids poor milk in each other's cartons. Eating each others food. This school doesn't have any rules. 2nd grade my son was fed up and started yelling at the kids and teachers and picking up the same actions as the rest of the kids. He went in survival mode. Getting in trouble when he defended himself after getting stabbed with a pencil. Yelling after he got spat at by a girl in his class. Some of the teachers will bully the kids if they don't like him/her I've seen it happen to other kids. Some of the teachers do not respect the parents and there is no protocol for this. *The children roam the halls and go in and out the front door with no supervision. Last and Very important My child was given to a strange man that had been watching my child. He came into the school and asked for my son. Apparently he didn't pronounce my sons name right. She told him exactly where his class was. The whole classroom address and teacher. He then went up to his class and told him they were going with his Aunt today. My son said no I'm going with my mom. The man grabbed his hand and said we are leaving come on we have to go to your Aunt. My son started walking when they called his name on the intercom to come out side and the man would not let go of my son. My son said the man didn't let go until he snatched his hand away and said no I'm not going with you I'm going with my mother. He didn't stop until my son started making a scene. Then he proceeded to come to my car. *The principal admitted to it* She said she did it and she took full responsibility for it. She also stated she trust all adults that come in and out of the school. No one I.d this man or asked him his name to see if he was on my sons release list. The school is currently under review. Trust me when I say this is not the school you want your child at. There has been countless inappropriate behavior from the adult staff at this school and it will negatively Affect their future. read more

My children have been students at Creative City since Kindergarten. Four years later, they still love going to school. Our family appreciates how nurturing the staff is, the arts-integrated curriculum, and how our children have grown academically. My kids have different learning styles and abilities and I feel that the educators met them "where they are," and as a result they are flourishing in reading and math. I've also observed how the school will weigh any weaknesses and implement strategies for improvement. There is also a system where students will typically have the same teacher for two years, which allows for the teachers to really get to know your child. I really loved how the Kindergarten teachers recognize that very young children need to move and play as part of their development, in addition to academics. If you are interested, I'd recommend scheduling a tour and visiting. The school also has events and that's a good way to talk to parents about their experiences. read more

I would not recommend enrolling any child at this school based on my personal experience. My child, who was in kindergarten, experienced multiple instances of bullying--one of which involved being physically harmed by a first-grade student. Unfortunately, the school failed to notify me of the incident. Had it not been for the school nurse and my child, I would have never been made aware. Many of these incidents occurred outside of classroom supervision, such as during P.E., lunch, and recess. When I raised these concerns with Principal Traci Mathena, I was disappointed by her response. She did not take accountability for the situation and instead placed blame on staff members who were not even present at the time of the incidents. Additionally, I have personally witnessed children walking out of the school building unattended. It is only due to the efforts of individuals like Mrs. Worrell and a few other dedicated staff members that the school continues to function. read more
