We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This was a great elementary school. The teachers really took the time out to teach and help out students. This school really focused a lot on reading and writing but more so writing. They had a great music program and the music teacher was very patient.

I am 67 now, I attended Cook School for kindergarten, first, second and third grades. Wonderful memories, I still remember my teachers names and the school song. I was transferred to a new school, Woodland, after it was built. Things were never the same, nor as great as Cook school was.
