Cook Closes, Brunson Rises | Winston–Salem News

Cook Literacy Model School is officially closing its doors, sending 186 students to nearby schools—Whittaker, Kimberly Park, and Ashley—where principals and staff have been preparing all summer for a seamless transition. Meanwhile, the new Brunson Elementary, set to open on North Patterson Avenue after winter break, marks a major upgrade for the community, with plans for open houses and PTA meetings to keep families engaged. The closure stems from low enrollment and aging infrastructure, but the district is focused on ensuring students land in strong, supportive environments as schools navigate this transformative period.
