The school leadership is fantastic. My kids were excited to go to school and learn. The PTA is active and puts on many events. There are a variety of clubs for different interests. The arts are integrated in learning, and I love how all the students get to learn and participate.

I feel so fortunate that my children attended such a great school! These years (K-5) form our babies babies into pre-teens. My kids are headed into their teen years with a love of learning, appreciation for art, musical talent, stage experience, creativity, and a passion for education. Thank you for creating such an amazing educational experience for my family! We will greatly miss NB Cook!!!

N.B. Cook is an awesome example of what school should be like for our children! I have two boys at this school and wouldn't want them anywhere else! The teachers are committed to our children 100% and teach with passion and dedication aimed at helping our children succeed. The added bonus of the arts are also a reason we chose Cook. My children are receiving a well rounded, top notch education. Clean school, excellent staff, positive environment for both of my boys. Would recommend this school above any other in Escambia County!

This is my child first year attending Cook, we were nervous about making the transition from Pensacola Christian to a public school... I'm so excited we made an excellent choice, although Cook is a public school its the best free private atmosphere school in the county. The drama & music classes has helped my daughter tremendously with overcoming her shyness we love Cook!

My child has gone to NB Cook from kindergarten through 5th grade and I wish they had a middle school. I feel like we have gotten a private school experience for free. With just a few exceptions, it has been an amazing 6 years filled with great teachers and wonderful administrators. My child has truly loved her school and so have I as a parent.

N.B. Cook is an exceptional school. The building itself is beautiful and clean. The teachers are really, I think, some of the best in the city. There is a lot of emphasis placed on personal repsonsability and being part of a community. The special areas include common ones like art and music, but at N.B. Cook, students also participate in drama and dance, complete with a wonderful dance studio! The leadership is top notch. Every year each class puts on several performances: one is grade level and the other is a play with is comprised of several grade levels. There is a drama club as well. I am super glad my child goes to Cook!

N.B. Cook Elementary School of the Arts is the best because it incorporates the arts -- music, dance, drama, art -- and EVERY child is a star!!
