This school has gone down hill over the past 3 years my children have attended. From bullying and giving the bullies a slap on the wrist to disorganization at dismissal. My son had his first worst experience as a prek student where the front office made him throw away his breakfast as soon as he walked in because it wasn’t in a bag.. I get that part, BUT she seen when I dropped off my children his food was visible 100%. She could have told me he had to finish it outside because I would gladly waited, I’m a SAHM and I wasn’t in a rush to go anywhere. My other child has been bullied left and right and the teachers and staff would just say “we talked to all the kids and reminded them of treating each other with respect..”. I had an incident where they didn’t put one of my kids on the bus and they lied and blamed a late bus arrival to their school. I immediately called them out and told them how is that possible when my other child is already home? They had no response. Their communication is disappointing. No one is allowed to bring outside food/water once the child walks into their building. In a rush kids forget their lunches sometimes, we’ve all been there. I’d try bringing it back to the school and I was told I couldn’t. The principal again decided he knows what’s best for MY KIDS and said they’ll eat what serve. Excuse me? Who are you to tell me what MY KIDS will and will not eat? I know they likes/dislikes, that’s the whole reason they bring a packed lunch. We’re not allowed to bring in birthday treats either. Since when does school feel like a prison? No fun, no excitement, NOTHING.

This is the second year that my son has attended Cole Elementary and I love this school. The teachers are top notch. I can tell that the faculty really cares about the kids and making sure that they get the education that they need and deserve. I love that they recognize both the students that need to be challenged as well as the students that need extra help. My son is in the encore program and his teachers have always challenged him to excel. I can't think of a single bad thing about this school.
