It was established in 1977. Our community values education, and parents actively volunteer time and resources to enrich the program for their children.
Willow Creek is a neighborhood school whose population is primarily white, middle-class students.
The school has encouraged this practice because declining enrollment in the neighborhood would have eventually eroded some of the advantages of larger staffing. An increase in language-disabled students and students with significant cognitive challenges in the last three years has required new responses that are individualized for each student. There are also considerable numbers of gifted and high-achieving students who require modification in order to meet their needs. Cherry Creek has set a high level of performance for all students, including such goals as the completion of Algebra I or better by all ninth-grade students. Our district is committed to site-based management.
