I attended Cockrill from 7th-8th grade. The staff was amazing!!! I loved each and every single one of my teachers. I felt like i was truly learning a lot and that the did a great job of preparing me for high school. The extracurricular activities were outstanding as well especially sports. The coaches NEVER used foul language around the us and also made sure that the kids were doing good in the classroom as well as on the field. Cockrill was a very good middle school, but the only complaint I would have to make would be the fact that sometimes the other kids could be very mean to each other and some bullying took place, but that can be expected in nearly every middle school. Since graduation from Cockrill I have gone on to be a phenomenal student at McKinney Boyd. My freshman year I maintained a 4.0 GPA and am currently ranked in the top 6% of my class. I feel that Cockrill played a huge role in my success, and I would strongly recommend enrolling there.
Transferring from out of state is a huge challenge. We submitted online registration 2 weeks prior to school starting and was reassured registrar would request student records which included immunization record from prior school. That didn't happen until the 2nd day of school. I brought in proof documents 5 times to the school after receiving no returned phone calls or emails to find out status. First impressions of a school are given by the office and registrar and they were not at all interested in what my concerns were but would talk over me or walk away while I"m talking. Which explains why they didn't understand me the 5 times I had to come in and provide the same documents. Had to take time off work just to try to communicate with school. I hope the teachers and administrators are much more professional and take an interest in educating my child. So far everyone in McKinney has been great, just a poor first impression of this school unfortunately.
All I know about this school is 2 6th graders entering this school and the fact that they always beat our school basketball team. (out team sucked anyway this year...)
cockrill is GREAT! but the only thing i would have to change.... would be how some students treat eachother. its a major problem.... trust me.
I have been attending Jack Cockrill Middle School for all 3 years it has been open, and i love it!! Especially the best teacher in the world, Mrs. Thompson!
The entire staff at Cockrill, from Dr. Defelice down, is the most incredible, caring group of educators my family has had the pleasure of being around. I have one child at this school currently, and he is challenged and rewarded every day. I would recommend this school and staff to any parent looking for an exemplary educational experience for their child!
Cockrill Middle School is an outstanding school. The teachers' are very intelligent at CMS. I could mention one of em',''Darla Jackson. Thats an out standing teacher I could never forget. She always knows how to help out students. The pep Rallys. WOW!! I was astonished by the cheerleaders,CREED AWARDS[most important thing in the school, and the symphonic bands 1&2. But one thing,ITS ALWAYS GREAT TO BE A COWBOY!
The Staff/Students and School Is awesome! Dr. De Felice You Rock as a Principal and the Vice and Head Principals Are doing great at Greeting Kids walking in the hallways making sure everything is going great which it is and knowing the kids name is a BIG success KEY. Cockrill Is the 1# Better Than The Rest of McKinney Schools Such as Dowell or Faubion now im No pointing names thats my opionion. All the Mckinney Schools are great but i think cokcrill works extra har Go Cowboys Students and Staff Keep Being the Best Lets Show them the Best!
