Excellent experience as a parent with two in school. I’m not sure what the negative reviews stem from, but any school needs a parent to be engaged and supportive of all elements of the scholastic plan.Cove’s deliberate and comprehensive approach is as solid as any I experienced myself and seems on par with the best schools my friends’ kids attend.

If you are lucky enough to be in this district, this is a gem of a school. The principal has 15 + years of experience, and the school's campus is only 10 years old, so you have the benefit of being at a public school, but with a new campus as compared to other schools. The families are kind and helpful to others. As for academics, the school's test scores are disclosed publicly, and they have to meet state standards.

This school is a huge disappointment. If you can move into the East Corte Madera Neighborhood you can have your kids go to the Reed district in Tiburon which is so much better.

As a teacher at a parochial school I would advise (and thus a recipient of discouraged families) that this is one of the most backward schools I have come across in Marin. They have NO writing or mathematical skills when they join my school. It is unfair to these little ones, and I would suggest (as a parent myself) for you to be beware of this school.

A parents worst nightmare. Keep your kids safe and away from the evils of this school and district. The feckless leadership and divisive indoctrination the schools agenda pushes on these young lives is truly disgusting.

Extreme snobbery at its finest - from the top down.

Admins are untrustworthy and unreliable. Unhelpful for learning disabilities. Did not support child.

I have been to many different schools all over the country(world) and Cove is by far-the best and it's not because of the architecture-it's because of the people who work there and LOVE what they do!!

Great school, the Principal is amazing and the overall culture and philosophy is exactly what you'd want in an elementary school

Cove school is tremendous. The bets school our kids have attended. Great teachers that provide a strong foundation for learning with proven curriculum. This is how all schools should be run. Also the awesome campus helps too!

The Cove School is a wonderful collaboration of teachers, administrators and parents, which has created (in my opinion) the model for how a school should operate in the 21st century!
