My son transferred in the 4th grade and had Mr. Masterson and then Mrs. Faulke in 5th grade. TERRIFIC TEACHERS! Very organized, supportive and encouraging teachers. They knew our sons strengths and areas of improvement needed, and helped him personally grow and excel. The school trips were well organized and well presented! We'll miss Cox this year!

As a parent I am extremely happy and grateful with the teachers at this school. The teachers extend beyond their duties to make sure children have a great learning experience. My daughter recognizes how much she has learned and says her teachers are 'good teachers'.

I have 2 children in this school for the past 3 years and find the teachers only willing to listen if you are in agreement with their plan/assessment of your child. If your child is cookie cutter or mainstream then the school serves your needs adequately, but if your child falls outside of the mold (gifted or in need of extra stimulation) there is little or no recognition or options. Average school for average children.

We have been extremely pleased with Cox School. The positive environment has served to motivate our two children to strive to do their best. These efforts are recognized and rewarded by both teachers, principal and PTO on a regular basis. They have also enjoyed the music, art masters and science kit programs, many of which are funded by the active PTO also. I would like to see more sports options, but that is my only criticism and I assume it is due to budget constraints. I know that many people move into this area solely because of the excellent schools and Cox is meeting and exceeding these high expectations.
