What school district is Corkery Elementary School part of?
Corkery Elementary has really failed in my opinion. Art and music and sports not available at this school. Ask children who attend this school if they have these activities. Answer is no. They can say they offer these activities, but there are no teachers for art, music or sports. Teachers need to step up their game as well. As do some parents. Principal needs to get on this bullying at the school too. Alot changed since I've attended cookery. Sad to say maybe it should be closed.
