GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

The 2020 school year was the most challenging by far because of district wide school closures and my children having to learn from home. Without the support of the wonderful Cory Elementary staff and community I don't think we would have persevered. Even with months of online learning and ongoing changes my children still thrived. My children are now beyond thrilled to be back in the classroom where they belong and love the in-person collaboration with their peers and teachers. Cory Elementary is a wonderful neighborhood elementary experience for kids from academics to peer relationships.

The school had some struggles with last minute heat day cancellations but I think that will be better planned next year. O...

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...

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 teacher...
