Cooke Elementary is a GREAT public school. The staff, teachers and principles are fantastic! The building is newer, bright and beachy. My kids look forward to the numerous fun family events the school holds each year. The PTA is active and supportive. We've been VERY pleased with this Oceanfront area school.
