Providence Creek Academy Charter School
Linda Wilson: Fabulous school setting. My son is doing very well. They have a handle on all of the students. I have been more than happy. We travel one half hour everyday to get there. I would travel further if I had to. He is relatively happy there. I mostly like the teachers, and all the staff. No riff-raff!!!!! The students learn, are well behaved, and will be sent out if they are not! I have been very happy since 2nd grade, when we started there.
