David M Cox Elementary School

My son and daughter are into 1st grade and 5th grade now. Principal, teachers, office staff are all wonderful!! David M Cox is the best school in this area. Many kids are coming from out of school zone because they loves this school. I agree with that.

We very much enjoyed it! The fact that they offered classes like Guitar Lessons, fun art projects, and Spanish lessons just to name a few, after school was such a treat! She absolutely loved her teacher, made lots of good friends and can't wait to go back to school.

Principal and office staff are Grade A, approachable, protective of the kids, like a big family. Lower grade teachers are lovely and seasoned.Music teacher (Papanek) is horrible. I'd heard she has a temper and have seen her physically pull a child off the assembly stage for chatting with a friend. She humiliated my 5 year old who came to her to report a child who wouldn't stop physically touching/tickling her. She took punitive measures and made her write her name on the naughty "frowny face board" in front of the other students for being a "tattle tale", which made my child cry and confused her (as she's been encouraged to tell trusted adults any time there is unwanted touching). Would love to see her gone and a teacher who builds the esteem of young ones (especially kindergarteners) as a replacement

My son is going into 1st grade and he loved going to school during kindergarten. All the teachers we have come in contact with are very friendly and truly care about the children. They had really cool activities during school hours and after school as well.
