Here are some quotes from some the the proud Deer Creek Parents...
Just a few of many taken directly from... www.greatschools.com

"With a small town atmosphere, this school offers considerably more attention per child in an a safer environment less exposed to drugs and crime. Everyone knows your name/family, and community involvement is refreshingly astounding."

This is a school for parents looking for strong academics in a positive envirnment and fleeing from the 'progressive' 80's style education. I feel the time spent 'teaching to the test' was low because the curriculum is good. The Great Expectations program is phenomenal! My children thrived here! If you want a 'child centered', 'self esteem' focused education try out Deer Creek's Rose Union Elementary.

"I love our school. I am a teacher at Deer Creek Elementary and this is the best staff I have had the opportunity to work with. Everyone is positive and gets along great. Our principal Straughn does a great job at hiring staff. We love her."

"Principal Toni Jones is amazing. She puts the children's education 1st. Her consistent & honest communication with everyone means no game playing. Her superb leadership raises test scores in every school she's at. We love her, our children love her. Thanks for a great school and our children's stellar education

"Deer Creek Elementary is a Great Expecation Model School. It is also a Blue Ribbon school recognized as a school of excellence. The staff is outstanding. Principal Straughn has hired exceptional people. I like how she is always available.

"This is truly an oustanding school. Has been rated #1 in the state in the API score. Debbie Straughn, the principal is an exemplary leader. She has led Deer Creek Elementary into being one of the top schools in the nation."

"Outstanding prinicpal, faculty, and environment. Activities are wonderful and music program is super. The very best in families and educational standards. We are so proud to live here and be a part of this school and community."
