Not sure why it's called STEM and other words to appear as if it's a great school. Tests scores are below average; Great Schools rates Cooper 5 out of 10, below average. 2 stars at best

I'm shocked to see that it's rated at the three. I absolutely love the school and the staff. All the information on here is wrong don't trust what you read, the principles listed wrong, transportation is wrong, the list goes on and on. The school goes above and beyond for it students and challenges them. there are tons of extracurricular activities as well but none are listed on here.

Although reading reviews it seems like an awesome school, the truth is not that. Academically they are on point. Kids are out of control and teachers can do nothing about it. Kids hitting teachers, throwing things, calling them names. And it's more than one child in my child's classroom. My child comes home and doesn't want to go to school because of the other children's behavior. Go to the staff and their answer is "We can't tell you what we do with the other children." Okay that's great, but what are you doing to protect me child. I choose this school because her home school is even worse they say. I can't imagine this. New staff is needed that will enforce things, such as behaving in class, wearing the correct uniforms and shoes. My list could go on.

Caring staff. Great communication with parents. Teachers and admin work well together. Kids polite respectful and held to a high standard academically. Even after private schools this has been a great experience.

I have two daughters attend (K and 1), and my family could not be happier with the learning environment. The staff there are friendly and helpful. The principle is very involved with the children's success, and of course the teachers are amazing as well. This school is very proactive with communicating to the parents, and I have no worries about safety when it comes to my children being there.

My children attend this school and my husband and I are very pleased with Cooper's learning environment. The teachers and staff are excellent. They not only work well with the students, but keep the parents well-informed of how their child is progressing.

My son attends this school and it is wonderful. The staff is amazing and seem to really care about their students. We recently attend the Math night which was fun and educationally.
