I have 3 kids attending this school. I believe it has a quality staff and excellent principal. I visit many of the schools in the district as well as other districts as part of my line of work and Cougar Run is one of the top elementary schools I have seen.

My kids have been going to this school for 3 yrs. There have been several instances where my kids have been bullied and nothing has been resolved, my son in 3rd grade has a teacher that has no control over the classroom and is constantly getting items stolen including his snack and it's just passed along as if there is nothing to be done about it. I have asked it he could switch teachers and I was informed that he could not. It seems this school has alot of issues and thankfully they will not be attending next year. My kids have complained that they hate this school, and that's pretty sad.
