I have had 2 children atten Cook Elementry school. To me it appeared not to be to parent friendly. Everytime I would try to work with them on the issues my children were haveing, they would turn a deaf ear to me. If they did listen it was to passify me and they would continue to things their way.

My two children have gone to this wonderful school. Cook is small but offers a wide view on community involvement. Parents are encouraged openly to be involved in their childs education and activities. The staff is caring and up-to-date. It is in a evolving neighborhood.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
