Cooper Middle School

This school is lacking in every department. If you want a good education for your child do not send them here. This school is very clicky and if you do not have the right connections yur child will pay the price. The 6th grade team has no clue how to help children and the 8th grade team is rude and awful.

There's little or no communication with parents. Most of the teachers shouldn't be teaching. The administration needs to be fired. They can't do their jobs!

My daughter is in special ed and Cooper is the only school (of 4 attended) that addresses her needs fully. The Principal addressed a bullying issue himself and it stopped immediately. My daughter loves Cooper, and so do we.

I'm a gifted student attending this school and I'm not gettng much out of it. I learn more doing programs and reading books outside of class. It's like the teachers don't care as much they need to. I can only name a few that truely go beyond and care about their students' success. It clearly doesn't meet my expectations and it won't help me much in life.

There is a lack of communication with the parents. I know of two fights in the cafeteria that parents were not notified of. The Honor ceremony was blah and lacked any real sense of recognition for students who achieved academic success. Students who didn't miss any school days were not recognized. There was no recognition for other divisions such as science, math, etc. The drop off and pickup situatioin is atrocious.

Copper's 'new age' approach neglects the basics essential to every child's educational experience. Classes are not all run with an equal emphasis on providing a robust, challenging, academic environment. Teachers and staff are condescending and unresponsive to parents. If you have any options, do not send your child to this school.
