Robert C. Cooley Middle School

Cooley is an amazing school! The activities and clubs, are great such as, AVID, reptile club, Stand up now club, and many more! The teachers are smart, fun, entertaining while they teach, and know how to be strict when they need to. A majority of the students care about their grades and school, and actually want to succeed. However, some students are thinking in the opposite direction, but that is why Cooley staff/teachers help them go far, and do good in middle school. I think Cooley is the place to make middle school A LOT easier! :)

My son will be starting his second year at Cooley. So far I believe the teachers are doing an excellent job considering the amount of children who lack discipline. The students are expected to complete assignments and study for tests. If the student can follow these simple rules, they will succeed. My son thought some of the teachers were strict but he did learn to respect them. I did not have any problems contacting a teacher when an issue cames up. The teachers respond quickly considering they are very busy. Overall I believe this school to be a great place of learning if this is the goal of both the student and parent. They also have a great band with a very dedicated teacher. If a student wants to party all the time, they will fall behind very quickly.

hey, well got to say i go to this school. and i'm in the 8th grade. i like this school is alrite and the teachers are cool and there fun as well. i love the princeipals. this school is beast.....

I go to this school and most of the teachers of great. One of the new teachers that came in is by far the best math teacher you could have (mr.Blom). Most of the students there though are very immature, they cannot handle having a supstitute because all they do is chat, chat, chat. And than the students also just love to treat eachother horifically and call them names because they think its cool...The teachers are awsome but the student...most of the stundents (not honors students they r MATURE :) ) need to get there act together. Being a donkey is not cool.

Cooley Middle School is the best school I have ever taught at. I really admire Cooley

Classes took a long time to be controlled. Teachers were not able to teach adequately because of the lack of ability to discipline when needed.

I go to Cooley middle school and this school is just amazing. All the teachers are excellent. I am doing really well here I have all A's. At first i wanted to go to BUljan, but now I am in love with cooley, and you will love it too. The best things about cooley is that they have Jamba Juice every Wednesday, they have a halloween fashion show, they have a ditch day, they play music on fridays and much much more. Over all Cooley is just a great school.

I went to Cooley for 6th grade, but then i had to move sadly, but i still go there mentally :) I met a lot of great friends there and i love it dearly! Some of the teachers are a bit harsh, but most are brilliant. I met most of my best friends i still have two years later there, oh, and the food there is awesome! (Get the soup and salad, you won't regret it!) Over all, the principal is fun and energetic (and i little coocoo, in a good way), and the classes were soooo fun!

We are new to the area and I cannot tell you how much I respect this school and its staff. We have been made to feel welcome and my child is doing very well there. Being new and new to CA is a hard thing for any student! My son likes school and has made some really nice friends and loves his teachers. Thank you all for what you do!

I had nothing but problems with this school. My child paid and signed up for some extra activities the teachers made available-but then they did not follow through with them. My child has always gotten excellent grades-they dropped while attending Cooley.Then my child decided it was cool to cutt class with her friends and hang out in bathroom. They called me when she was not in class-having no idea where she was-- i was told that there would be consequences at school for her actions. But they did nothing! i left several messages for the principal and received absolutley no response. Unacceptable to me! Seems like this school does not have it together..So how can they expect their students to.Thankfully we moved out of the district and my child is doing much better with no problems.

I think this school has too much harsh disiplines. It has good teachers but some of them, I am not pointing out anyone, or a bit mean. Not mean like threat mean, just they scold the children for small reasons like if you don't pay attention you should at least give a warning. The school has great lunches. Great electives. Just the discipline is too harsh. When Cooley opened it was a good school. But I think its getting worse every year. I think if we work together though we can make this place even better for the staff and students than it already is.

I am a foster parent and have put 13 children through Cooley Middle School. I have found the administration and teachers to be top of the line. They have worked with me and my children providing us with the help necessary so each child had their chance to succeed.
