WARNING: DISCRIMINATION, SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND BULLY are the norms of this school, along with the indifferent and unprofessional leadership and teachers. My child has been going through all the three. There was even one discrimination teaching from a teacher with over 20 years teaching experience. The principle and vice principle didn't do anything to solve the three issues. They only pretended they cared. I've heard of similar problems from my kid's classmates. The indifferent and irresponsible leadership, teachers and staff are the main factor causing these horrible issues.

Our kid had a wonderful Gr.1 and chose to stay at Cory for Gr.2 instead of going to a private school. This is a very well-funded school by generous parents and local businesses. The school had some struggles with last minute heat day cancellations but I think that will be better planned next year. Our kids attended after school Enrichment Class follow by Discovery Link regularly and loves going to school each day. Teachers are kind yet effective in teaching, communication, and embracing differences in learning styles. Kids are well equipped with latest tools and supplies. Lots fun events, field trips and community collaborations. Generally respectful families and kids that are active with extracurricular activities to keep busy and stay connected.

Teachers use shaming as a tactic for discipline, and wonder why they don’t positive responses or results from the students. Sadly, this comes most often with the teachers with 20+ years of experience. It may have been acceptable 20 years ago, but not when we know so much more about child development and psychology. Wish the teachers would learn with the times as well.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this school and totally disagree with any negative comments. We have been at the school for almost 10 years with 3 children and have never heard of or seen bullying or inappropriate behavior. The parent community is extraordinarily involved and the teachers have been at the school for eons so they are engrained into the community and committed to the school. Due to parental involvement and a committed PTA, we are fortunate enough to have paras, full time music, art, and PE teachers, a beautiful school, amazing computer lab, instruments, and art supplies - which is not a guarantee with DPS. I feel so fortunate to give my kids the opportunities that they have at Cory. The school caters to all children of all educational levels - no one falls through the cracks. All three of my children have had all the support and been as challenged, as needed. The Principal is committed and responsive and clearly takes pride in the school and the community. We cannot recommend this school enough.

This school is an absolute mess. The teachers belittle students, every day my kids come home having learned new inappropriate words, there’s unchecked sexual harassment happening from the 5th grade boys that gets brushed under the rug, and the leadership at this school is an absolute and total disgrace. No one even responds to emails! There is zero respect shown or cultivated between students with different views, lifestyles, or backgrounds. The bullying is out of control... Don’t send your kids to this school if you want to preserve one ounce of their confidence, integrity, or innocence.
