Who ever heard of a middle school where there are no math teachers, language arts teachers, science teachers...just team teachers. The instruction is atrocious. Oh, and the principal is clueless. Maybe that's why parents are not allowed in the building during the school day.
This school was great. Every teachers don't hesitate giving help to students. My son transfered as I moved, but I thougth I can give 5 Star without question on this school. I would like to give many thanks to teachers and Priciple. Thnak you.
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.
Amazing staff at the school. Academic programs and skills are amazing, my clid grew and learned so much from this school. And so many activities for parents and students too!
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.
Awesome school! so many things to do! lots of kids to make friends with. No bullying at all! the teachers make class fun!
the accelerated programs are really good they let the gifted sdudent's go higher and meet other gifted friends. the teachers are really nice and there is close to no bullying. there is close to nobody who do drugs. over all it's a magnificent schhol
