Cooper City Elementary School

I am very disapointed with this school, most of the staff are rude and careless. My dauther has been bullied by the "popular girls" and after repeated visits with the teacher nothing has been done. it is obvious that the teacher is indiferent to my daughter and the girls sence this, so they try to hurt her as much as they can by taking her stuff and they know they won't be reprehended. They said nothing can be done which is okay, but at least they should fake that a conversation will take place prohibiting this kind of behavior but they didn't even bother. I was screamed at because my daughter had a phone that she was't supposed to have. Instead of them maybe pretending to care or work something out? But again, that would be too much to ask from the faculty at this school.

My son has been a student of Cooper City Elementary for 5 years (he is currently in 4th grade; has been attending since Kindergarten). One of the reasons we moved to Cooper CIty was for the schools in the town. Let me just say that we could not have asked for a better school for our son. The Teachers and staff go above and beyond for the welfare of our son. Any child would be lucky to attend this school.

Phenomenal school! Administration does a wonderful job of keeping parents informed. Teachers are doing great at transitioning to Common Core Standards. My children are challenged and we are so happy!

The school restored all specials this year: Art, Music, PE, and Media. Students visit computer lab weekly. All classes are meeting class size. Our family is happy to be a Cub!

This school has suffered from cut backs. There is no PE, no art and no creativity in the curriculum. Science is taught by reading, rather than hands on. Teaching to the FCAT and other testing is the focus. I have had one or more kids in this school since 1998 and I have witnessed its decline. Students are no longer taught to be creative thinkers. They are taught to pass standardized tests.

I have been very sad to see the specials go. There was a great art program, computer lab teacher, and science program which are all gone now. The students are only receiving core classes and it is impacting their balance.

There are some aspects of this school that are very good, but if you want your child to have fun learning incorporated into their school year, this is not the school for you. Everything in this school is centered around the FCAT's. That is the only concern. Parent involvement is high, but if you volunteer expect harassment from the teachers and no support. Many teachers are rude and not willing to work with the parents. Many people love this school, but I had a lot of difficulty with many aspects of it. I want my children to love school and have an exciting education and that is not the case here. There are also many problems with bullying.

I was highly disappointed with this school. My daugther behavior stared to deteriorate everyday. No personal care from teachers. Bullying. I hate it. I moved her from there in the middle of the first year. The best I could have done! Now we both are happy.

Caring and understanding teachers and faculty. Good communication between teachers and parents. Creative fund raising and events that bring the entire community together.

Cooper City Elementary is a school geared to academic success and parent involvement.

Cooper City Elementary was where my son went to school. I thought the teachers were very dedicated and creative. He did quite well there and enjoyed it.

Experience at this school varied drastically based on the teacher my child in the different grade levels. Grades 2 and 4 were amazing teachers.

A+ school, A+ teachers who eally care about their students and go above and beyond the call of duty.

The number of reassignments in this school has lowered the quality education provided. It is aggravating to buy in an area because of the school and find that due to circumstances beyond your controll your child is not getting the quality education you expected.

This is an outstanding school, my 2 girls have gone the past 2 years & they have turned the grades around &all of the credit goes to the teachers who brought some things to our attention that they needed help with & the other school she went to didn't care enough. I can't tell you how please I am with the talented teachers especially Mrs Nolan & Mrs Stein who have worked wonders with my 5th grader.

Teachers are the key to Cooper City Elementary. There's plenty of parent involvment and the extracurricular projects keep kids focused and motivated. We are lucky to have a school of this caliber in our neighborhood.
