Community Reviews
The current Principal is the rudest person I've met in a long time. I have subbed here a few times and would not do it again. One time I had no sub plans, no roster, and no schedule (this happens regularly at Cook). Students were running around the building and I had no idea who was even supposed to
Posted by a community member on 6/4/2025I rate it a 5 because the students enjoy being there.
Posted by a community member on 4/14/2020I WOULD RATE IT A -1 IT COULD BE BETTER WITH STRONG AND EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
Posted by a parent on 3/27/2019This school has made a great turn around. The new principal is very caring and has been able to change the culture of the school. My son is very happy with his 3rd grade teacher too.
