The parents, students, teachers and staff really care about their school. Everyone takes ownership in the learning of the students at Canyon Creek. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I am glad Canyon Creek is part of my 'village.'

The awesome teachers and an outstanding PTA! The support the school offers the students and their families, giving back to the community, and having the highest educational standards. Encouraging our kids to be the best they can be!

The administration and teachers value the support and input of the parents in the community. This allows the community to pour into the school and produces a win/win for the kids. The teachers seem to really enjoy working at the school and that is evident with how they treat our kids. The school is the heart of our neighborhood and with so much interaction between parents and teachers, the neighbors get to know and support each other. Great School, Great Neighborhood, Growing Great Kids!

The school is fantastic. Our kids transfered to CCE from a big private school and we think CCE is way better than the private school our kids attended. The principal is wonderful. The teachers are wonderful. The parents are heavily involved in the school. It is just a great atmosphere to be in. The curriculum is challenging for the kids...much more than what our kids were receiving from private school. I can't say enough about CCE. It's a wonderful place!!!

It is small, student centered, family oriented, and feels like a private school. My children have been there since starting the pre-K program which is awesome and is far better than any other pre-K program out there!

My kids have been in private schools up to this year and I expected a big difference moving to public. Canyon Creek has actually been even better than public schools. They have addressed our needs immediatly and the fabulous commuinity has been an added bonus. Michele

Two of my young grandchildren attend Canyon Creek Elementary in Richardson, Texas. I have been quite impressed with the curriculum and the degree of enthusiasm with which the students and teachers approach education and learning in general. When I have lunch with my grandchildren, the process is very orderly and the children are well-behaved. The school field trips, after school activities, and various evening programs, are innovative, educational, and an enjoyable experience for the students and their families. The classrooms are kept neat and clean, the hallways are decorated with creative and interesting classwork and the outside grounds are always impeccable. The school staff and students appear enthusiastic, happy, and caring towards one-another. Problems that may arise in the classroom are handled in an extremely fair manner for all concerned. I have noticed that a sizable parental volunteer effort exists, with an impressive cooperation among those involved. My grandchildren look forward to school each day and when sick, they 'fight against' having to stay home. I would say Canyon Creek is an exceptional school in all areas and a definite credit to the Richardson school district.

Teachers that know and care about our kids and a principle and staff that keep it running under all circumstances. Kids that are smart, fun, and happy and parents that love the school and support it immensely! It's a public school that is small and private and continues to give to other communities that are far less fortunate. The students think of fund raisers across the board to help those in need....including dogs!!!!

CCE is great school because of the staff. I have never seen teachers and staff so committed to the children in their school. They truly take extra special care of each one. The classes are small and the parents are very involved. Awesome environment for our children.

The teachers and staff are wonderful! The children are precious and the parents are so eager to get involved. The campus is also nestled in a cozy little neighborhood and is surrounded by soccer/baseball fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, a community swimming pool and a pavillion. Kids gather around the school to mingle and play. It's a small school where everyone knows each other and the class sizes are small. It's just a wonderful school!!

It has been a great school for my grandsons, in academics plus the caring teachers at the school. Love it, and love to come there and play on the playground with the boys!

The sense of community - Canyon Creek is a family. We don't just go to school activities together, our children are together out of school in scouts, soccer leagues, YMCA, we look out for each other's kids.

Canyon Creek is a hidden treasure in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Our school has an amazing staff. Each and every person truly cares about the education and emotional development and wellbeing of each student. The teachers are dedicated to motivating each child to reach their potential. The families who attend the school are also amazing, everyone works together for the benefit of all students and families. I wouldn't dream of being any place else! CCE is a blessing!

Canyon Creek Elementary IS the best school! Everyone employed at the school is friendly, and is genuinely concerned that my children get the best education possible. The parents of the students are very involved and all watch out for each others kids. There are great CCE community events and gatherings throughout the year that bring the school together. Bottom line, Canyon Creek Elementary is tops!

Excellent parent and neighborhood support. The close knit neighborhood treasures and supports this school. Many of the parents attended the school as kids! The teachers genuinely love to be here, and the parents go all out supporting after school activities, most of all the spectacular annual talent show. The recent Presidential Blue Ribbon award is well deserved!

Canyon Creek Elementary School is first class from its exemplary principal to its kindergarten students to the parents. There is always respect of each student and a wonderful learning atmosphere throughout the entire school. There is no other school, private or public, I'd rather have my children attend. And when they 'graduate' from Canyon Creek they will be ahead of students due to the excellent teachers they have had and will be better people for the things they have learned from the teachers and classmates of Canyon Creek. Principal Nikki Hamilton is class all the way and she leads by example. Her fine example trickles down throughout the entire school. I can't recommend Canyon Creek enough. Terry H. Parker
