Cheri Cox stands out for its exceptional support of diverse student groups. It ranks in the 99th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with African American students, a distinction it has held for three consecutive years. The school is also a leader in serving students with special needs, ranking in the 98th percentile, and has shown dramatic improvement with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, jumping to the 96th percentile. Academically, the school is a "math powerhouse" in 4th grade, with 86.57% of students proficient in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average.

Saturday, December 31, 2011

The principle, Dr. Truncale, and her staffs are very caring for the students and school pride. They make sure that every student has the resource and attention for their development to adulthood. My son recently had surgery where he would miss school for one month. Cheri Cox took the time to work with us to find the best solution for my son to get the education and care without being left behind from his classmates. I was impressed how the teacher was willing to come to our home after school to assist with his school work, but later we had come up a better solution where my son was able to attend school part-time without missing his lessons and participate and develop a relationship with his classmates. Not only they have a great program at school time. They also have other activities to challenge students such as academic competition for students. Students could volunteer to compete against other schools in academic contests. After my son participated to a math competition named "Number Sense", Cheri Cox elementary provided a teacher after school once a week to teach my son and the team members to prepare for the contest. The competition consists of 4 students from each school in the district. There were 6 schools in our district. Cheri Cox took first, forth and fifth place from the Number Sense math contest this year on 12/6/2011. My son was in the fifth. :) Close Quote
