Sugar Creek Charter School
I love Sugar Creek Charter. I have 3 children that attend the school. It is great and I love the teachers and staff. My kids have learned so much at this school. The teachers take their time with each student to make sure they are learning. I also like the fact that they have many family activities they we all can enjoy. My kids love it also. My 8yr. old is a A honor roll student and the other two are A/B honor roll students. I couldn't ask for anything better. Love it, love it, love it.

Sugar Creek Charter School
This is a good school, defintely much different than CMS schools. My son has been there since 1st grade and has had an enjoyable time since. He loves the fact that he has had the same students in each grade since the beginning, but I love the fact that he is excelling in every class, and he stays challenged. I would like to school to focus more on making sure parents are made aware of kids not progressing well, and put less emphasis on the dress code. Otherwise I love it!

this is the best school i have ever attended. the teachers are extremely nice, and the classrooms are always under control so that the children can have a nice peaceful place to learn. thank goodness they have expanded the school to make room for newcomers.

Sharon: I really love the school I have a son who graduated from the Sugar Creek l in 2009. I feel that the school is very unique with there style of teaching and the students are able to excel were in other schools I have seen the children sit in the class in be bored because the teachers are not challenging them. At Sugar Creek the children are challenged on an daily basic. I applaude the being a school like this. I proud to say that I still have three children who still attend "The Creek".

Karen: It bothers me when experienced professionals in any field know little about what they are doing. The people (Administrators, teachers, assistants, and probably the bus drivers too) are simply CLUELESS! Even worse, whenever you ask any staff a question(s) about what's going on in the classrooms, they look like "Deer caught in the Headlight!" Then it seems like they say something rehearsed and "TRY" to appear intelligent! NOT....! AND WHERE IS THE CAFETERIA? Sugar Creek has been around too long for those students to still have to eat in the CLASSROOM!
