Cora Spencer Elementary School

AMAZING school from the principal to the teachers. I would give 12 stars if I could. The teachers are thoughtful, the curriculum is challenging, and they cater to your child's strengths and gifts. Instructional planning and design is done with equity in mind. If child is behind they are not forgotten, if child is advanced they are strengthened. Keep in mind they are dealing with hundreds of different personalities and probably only hear negativity, are over worked and under paid, yet the teachers still display grace, compassion and love to the students and families. The enrichment enhances my child's academic journey. From Tech to STEM, Music, Diversity events, there is a reason this school is rated so high. Their SPED program is top notch!!! My son LOVES school and smiles so wide, he has really come out of his shell, doing advanced math and reading. I am blessed and privileged to have found such committed partners in my child's academic journey. THANK YOU ESE!!

We couldn’t be happier with this school. My son has thrived here. The teachers are attentive, supportive, and truly invested in each student’s success. The principal knows the kids personally and is incredibly engaged, which creates such a warm and welcoming environment. Beyond the classrooms, the sense of community is wonderful. Families are involved, and the neighborhood continues to grow in the best way. We feel very lucky to have found this gem, and it’s a big part of why we love living here.
