Cory Elementary School

I wanted to wait until the end of the year to review my experience here. Considering my previous poor DPS elementary experience, I didn’t want to make a hasty decision based on the obvious. The obvious being accelerated academic program (s), stellar Principal and teachers, and attention to each child’s needs via a tremendously effective magnet program within the schools regular program… amongst other things.
Cory stands head and shoulders above many (most) of the DPS elementary schools in the state. Outside of the reasons stated above, the PTA at Cory goes above and beyond. They are aware of, and embrace, new families — open to participation and suggestions for events, and parent involvement.
The teachers are aware of the varying levels of academic prowess for children ages 5 – 10 and utilize this as a teaching tool, not as a hindrance for the above and below average student. The «average» student is not a role model for the outstanding students. Nor are the esl students needs placed above any other needs in any given classroom. Each child is taught at their level consistently.
A safe community where each child is respected and embraced for what they bring to the environment — what a concept~
