Great school overall! Very involved in helping the kids learn and find their best way of learning. Parents are always aware of what students are learning with weekly newsletters from their teacher and school district as a whole. Love the way everyone gets along. I have a kinder student here and she has really learned a lot and is thriving. Her teacher Miss Nieves is awesome and loves her kiddos in the class! So excited to have my 3 year old join when she is of age.

The teachers at WCE are high quality teachers - there is very little turnover. They truly care about our kids education, to the point of tailoring subgroups in the class to make sure that each child is challenged on their own level. The new twice-per-day recess, albeit shorter sessions, is helping with the high-energy levels that young kids have which seems like a really smart move. The school leadership is also very professional and have answered any questions we had very quickly. It's been nice to communicate with them so easily.

I love this school so much is awsome my children learn alot. Teachers are really patient with my son and make sure they get the best learning experience. My child was not doing so good in the beginning his teacher did everything she could to make his work more understanding to him by the end of the year he ended up getting the MOST IMPROVEMENT award very thankful for them at Willow Creek their teaching strategies are very affective.

I have loved sending my son to this school for Kindergarten and 1st Grade. He has come a long way in just two years and I attribute this to his fine teachers and school staff. When I go to his school, every single staff member I encounter is friendly and remembers you. Parent involvement is through the roof. I do think this school should be funded enough to expand the Music/Art program, however. I'm happy to see the students have recess everyday and a P.E. program still in place. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the traffic during student drop off/pick up time is a pain, and also because the PTA could have better communication with the parents...to include the ones that paid for PTA membership. Overall, wonderful school and an awesome Principal leading it!

This is the 3rd elementary school my children have attended within the district and it has by far been the best. The 3yrs worth of teachers my children have had have been wonderful.Teacher communication has been easy and quick with replies. We have had a difficult teacher or two, but you will have that anywhere. My level of school involvement has varied over the years. When I'm able to help, I'm greeted with open arms and whenever I can't, I'm kept up to date. I've never joined the PTA, but they are friendly. I would say I favor the PTA involvement the most during the first couple of years that the school was open, though. Office staff has always been helpful over the phone and in person. I adore the new nurse for this year,the ones from the previous years were rude. Love all the Specials teachers this year. Kinder parents don't line up where they should for pickup,so traffic is a nightmare! It could easily be fixed by releasing Kinder 5mins earlier. Every school will have their annoyances, but I can honestly say that every annoyance I've had with WC has been offset by the loving teachers. They've gone above and beyond every single year inside and outside of the classroom.

Great environment for learning! The staff truly cares for their students! I'm proud that my child transferred to WC for Kindergarten and is still there! Thriving and learning everyday!

My children went to willow creek elementary- all I have to say THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TEACHERS TO THE PARENTS ARE POOR AND UNLESS YOU ARE THE TEACHER'S FAVORITE YOUR CHILD WILL BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY....

Excellent school with amazing teachers. As it pertains to Kindergarten, communication between myself and the teacher/principal is wonderful. On-YMCA is staff is attentive, caring and fun for the kids.

Excellent K-5 school. Traditional calendar. YMCA provides afterschool care onsite for a reasonable price. Well organized. Many activities. Beautiful library.

- What did you like? Our daughter was in Kindergarten and absolutely LOVED Willow Creek. Relatively new school, beautiful grounds, grass fields. Mrs. Lowrie is the sweetest and the kids love her. This school is the most organized school I have come across (coming from Southern California). Morning drop off is a breeze and safe ... several teachers are waiting in the drive up circle and they will open your door and assist your child out of the vehicle....then they safely escort them into the lunchroom where they eat breakfast or have a quiet activity. There are always several staff/volunteers monitoring the children. The school is completely enclosed which I love. There is a wonderful art program and the teacher posts their artwork online. Website is always kept up to date and parent/teacher communication is stellar. The food choices are excellent (not always the healthiest) but there is variety and it looks appetizing (especially compared to Southern California). You also have the option of having lunch with your child which you can bring them outside food and sit at designated parent tables. It truly is a wonderful school for the kindergarten age. There is also bus service which we were not used to having so that is also another nice aspect.
