Goose Creek Elementary School provides public education for pre-K to fifth-grade students. Many students live close to the school on the west side of the Goose Creek community, making transportation a breeze. Based on their grade level, students receive an iPad or Chromebook in class to enhance typing, learning and researching skills through programs such as Smarty Ants and Lexia. Many students see individual growth and enjoy exploratory courses such as music, art and STEM, encouraging them to find new passions. Teachers develop Literacy Assessment Portfolios to enhance student reading. Math interventionists are also at Goose Creek Elementary to support students in mathematics. Yearly events like field days, career fairs, community math nights and book fairs keep students energized. They also allow the community to get involved in the school’s success. The administration often utilizes local partnerships and parents to volunteer for these exciting events and provide students with multiple opportunities to have fun with school activities.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
