My son was attending a charter school in Bryson City that failed him. He loved Scotts Creek from day one. The staff is supportive, knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Fernandez is a professional who handles issues with students and does not ignore problems. Bullying is taken seriously and dealt with. A great environment.

My son just started K and he love's it. They encourage reading. And do all kind's of fun thing's.
They need to do the( Box Top's ) to earn money for the school. and they do not do that program. I write to the teacher about the Box Top's and they told me they do not do Box Top's.
My son has a great teacher. THANK YOU MRS. TEMPLE & MS.JONES. Jonathan P. love's school because of you. Thank you both if you see this.

They really encourage reading programs and pay a lot of attention to the children. Bully free school. I would like to see uniforms for the students in all Jackson County schools . If you couldn't afford them they would be donated as well as a uniform seconds shop to buy the next size if they were in good condition
