I've had all my children in Cowan since it opened in 2000. I have to say that it is rare to find a group of educators so dedicated to improving their school year after year. Additionally, the PTA is incredibly active and strives to bring the best to the school and the students. I would highly recommend Cowan for quality in education, teaching expertise, and parental involvement.
It is a super positive environment, highly organized, and just a great school. My kindergartener has blossomed since starting. I could not be happier.
Cowan is the best school ever! Great Principal, outstanding teachers and wonderful parents. It is a community that works together to make our school a place that is a step above the rest.
Cowan is exactly what a school should be. Every teacher cares about every child and works very hard to make each student successful. The students are taught to be respectful towards, theirselves, others, property and learning everyday. This respect is important to learn at a young age. Basically, I believe that because of the about, Cowan is producing successful students and lifelong learners.
The best staff! Great academics! The best students! It's like a big family that cares about one another.
Cowan has the best teachers and the best students anywhere! we love learning and we always do our best!!!
Cowan Elementary is the best place to be! I work with the best students, staff, and families on the planet! :)
My daughter is very happy there. The teachers are great and challenge the children so they are never bored.
Cowan has the best teachers, administrative staff and students. This is my son's second year and he loves it. I love the low number of classes.
The facilities are wonderful, the staff is superb, and they always come up with such great fundraising ideas.
My children attended another elementary school I deemed as excellent...then, I started working at Cowan Elementary in the office area, and just day by day, I discovered a new meaning to what 'Excellence' means. I had the opportunity to see first hand, through the teachers, the administration and the office staff, the making of education in progress. This school is beyond first rate class. These teachers are in the profession for the love of teaching and their commitment to children, like in the old days...not for a career. I marvel at so many kids whose lives are touched by the teachers, the principal, the counselor...that's what makes a different in this world, a child at a time.
Cowan is awesome! We have been there since the school opened in 2000. Great Staff that really care about the learning needs of our children.
Our school is the happiest place to work and learn. My own daughter in Kindergarten speaks everyday about how much she loves Cowan and ALL of her teachers here.
Cowan Teachers are the best at meeting kids needs and getting them to excell. Cowan is a wonderful family environment. We can imagine being anywhere else.
Dennis Cowan Elementary is a terrific school! The parental involvement, the excellent teachers and wonderful staff, and the best principal make this school truly exceptional. It is a blessing to have my child attend Cowan. The principal and the teachers in collaboration with the parents work hard together as a team and as individuals to successfully focus on each student's education and the overall well being of a student. The enthusiasm of the friendly parents and students every morning is great and most inviting to any newcomer to Cowan............Thank you to all who work/volunteer at Cowan!! My child will always remember this wonderful experience!! Sincerely,
