I would never send my child to Creekview. The school has a terribly toxic environment and the drug problem is extremely pervasive to the point it's so normalized that kids don't realize how bad or illegal something is - and you won't hear the negative press because they don't want you to know. LEAVE CHEROKEE COUNTY. The school and local police will try to ruin your child life if given the chance. it's so bad that when my child moved to another normal school they were shocked at how nice everyone was and that she didn't feel like a criminal every time she walked into the school. If we had known how bad it was - we would have done something different. I wouldn't wish that school or district on anyone. Close Quote

Before moving to Georgia, my wife and I made sure that we settled in an area with a good school district. After looking at the performance of Cherokee County Schools, we were convinced to live here in Canton, GA. Not only is the school excellent with great facilities and teachers that connect with the students and help them achieve academically, but the environment is safe and one that encourages learning and prepares students in the real world by providing special classes like Healthcare Science, Architecture, and Video Broadcasting, to name a few. All of my kids attended Creekview and they have gone on to excellent nationally ranked universities. I am so thankful to have had my kids gone to a great institution as Creekview High School! Go Grizzlies! Close Quote

Creekview was voted one of the best schools in the nation. As an alumnus from the school, the teachers were all superb. Although it is one of the newest schools in the county, it is already the top school in the county, surpassing state standards in standardized tests and scoring higher than any school in the county. The surrounding community is a great place to raise a family. The clubs and sports programs are excellent, as well, winning many state and nationally-recognized awards. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
