Cook (Hazel Goes) Elementary School

So far is one of the best schools. Teachers are amazing and the Principal Ms. Llamas is always helpful and dedicated to her school. I can see the evolution of my daughter and even with the pandemic we all learn something new and how to work together with the clases, homework, and interaction online. Im so grateful for all this school has done.Now my daughter is back to school in person and she is loving it.

My children and I had a wonderful 12 years at Cook. Two of my kids attended from kindergarten through 6th grade and left well prepared for middle school. Ms. Llamas’s has been Cook’s Principal since November 2013. She has worked very hard over the years to bring the International Baccalaureate program to our school. Our school has come such a long way since she’s been Principal. She’s very professional but she’s also very kind and cares about her students and families. There’s such a strong sense of community at Cook that you don’t have with bigger schools. Cook teachers are hard working and it’s wonderful to see that they remain passionate and enthusiastic about teaching. They were wonderful when schools closed due to Covid. Ms. Llamas and her staff did their best to stay in touch with families. My daughter graduated this year and she’s a confident, happy young lady and she’s ready for the years ahead . She’s always felt supported and encouraged by her teachers and Ms. Llamas. I as a parent always felt welcomed. There’s a lot of opportunities to get involved and to make your voice heard and to be a part of your children’s education.

Hazel Cook School has offered a wonderful, kind, understanding and compassionate environment for my child for the past seven years. From Kindergarten all the way through the 6th grade and Covid, the education and support were outstanding.Gabriella Llamas, Principal, has an open door policy and had been willing to listen to my concerns regarding my student. She has also offered to look into resources to help. Ms Llamas continues to keep in touch even though our student has left Cook for Middle School.Cook is a small school and offers an International Baccalaureate program providing our student a more global education. Cook is ideal if you are looking for a small school with caring staff and the opportunity to grow and be prepared for Middle school and beyond.;

Our daughter learned well, grew in confidence and skill and felt supported and cared about. Off to middle school well prepared!

I would not recommend this schol to any parent. Cook needs a new principle and a new staff!!
