The special education teachers and all support staff were wonderful in helping my child. We LOVED Cooper and were sad to leave when my son moved on to middle school!

not with the current principle because to her its much easier just to fake it and lie about it.

too difficult to talk with the Principle always not around and no return calls. No one in school listens to her because everyone excluding the new comers know Mrs. Tiernan is not a good Principle or Leadership. She faking things.

Cooper is a great school where each staff member of the school knows the students by name! The teachers are absolutely dedicated to supporting and encouraging the students and have very open communication with parents. Its a wonderful atmosphere.

Cooper is an outstanding school and one of the smaller elementary schools in the Cherry Hill district. The PTA is quite involved organizing fundraisers, Valentine's Day Dances, Movies nights, book fairs, the Winter Carnival, and even a PTA basketball league! The parents are generally down-to-earth. You will find a variety of socioeconomic classes ranging from low to high, with an approximate middle class feel. The school is one of the more diverse within Cherry Hill, a great melting pot and everyone gets along well. My children are truly blessed to attend such a wonderful school. It really has a safe, warm, family atmosphere.

My daughter is in grade 2, and this is an amazing school. Everyone loves it. It has a feeling of a private school.

This is a great school! Our son is in his 5th year at this school and every year has been a great experience for him. The teachers and other staff provide great support to the kids. Although, like any PTA, the same 25% of the families do all the work, but they do an amazing job for the kids! We'll be sad when it's time for our son to leave this school!
