Cooley Ranch Elementary School

My son has been going here for 2 years and I love this school its not crowded its very well kept up and very clean. The teachers really truly want to help the kids. They have after school tutoring so if your kids need help in a certain area they can take tutoring after school so instead of paying all this money for tutor they have it there free. The teachers like seeing the parents get involved and want to get our input. Its a very good school and I think one of the best.
