Jere Whitson Elementary School

This the last year for my daughter, she is going to miss Canecreek. Everyone has been outstanding there Dolores just loves her teachers. She also loves Ms Twilla in the lunchroom. Really an outstanding school. I recommend it anyone.

I have had 5 children go through Capshaw! It is a wonderful school that is dedicated to teach the students what needs to be taught. My older children breezed through middle and high school because I do believe of their foundation at Capshaw. My youngest is now in 3rd grade and it saddens me to know that we will only have another year after this year at this great school.

I went to Northeast as a kid, and now my children go there. It's just as good today as it was 30 years ago! The teachers are wonderful, and the parent organization is very active and supportive.

I truly can not say enough about this school. My kids had an appointment that ended at two and begged to go back to school!! Mr. Winningham , the principal, aka Papa Panda is the best! The relationship he has with the kids is amazing and setting a great experience for the kids as to what to expect from school. Every morning is started with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and an uplifting message to start the day. My 18 yr old daughter went to school here and now my 6 and 7 year olds... This schools values are timeless. I loved it then and I love it even more as we grow!

Cookeville is a fantastic school. They offer so many options that my child would not have access to at another school. As a freshman taking Honors courses, as well as an AP course, and receiving afterschool assistance to get caught up in the math - I could not be more proud to have a Cavalier student!! My only negative (4.9 STAR) review is due to the fact that there isn't a safe place for the teens to go to after school. There seems to be no rules/regulation/supervision in the LEAPS program which is very disheartning to the point that I would not allow my teen to be there, and I have chosen to giveup my lunch break for an early pickup once school is out. This is unacceptable that my child does not feel safe in that environment.

One of the best group of people I’ve ever met

I have no knowledge how regular classes are conducted but the special needs classes are exceptional in this school.The teachers are caring and try their best to give these children everything they need.My son is Autistic and went there from 4th to 8th grade and excelled tremendously.His speech got so much better he can express himself and his feelings now.He also is very good in math loved the sport program's and the extra activities that were available in that school like swimming and visits to a horse stable that were qualified to work with special needs children.The children also give you valuable information what is available in the community for special needs children if you ask them.My experience with this school was the best.Also a personal thanks to Ms.Walker and Ms.Best who made our experience with this school so exceptional.

My daughter absolutely loves each teacher that is on staff. She is learning by leaps and bounds, and she is focused on learning and making a difference in life, at six years old. I would suggest anyone looking for a private school to check this one out. It's succeeds the exceptions of the children and the parents.
