GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I enjoyed my time at Cooper. Looking back as a current senior in high school, I learned valuable academic habits that supported me through high school. The school was cliquey, but you will find friends if you are involved in a specific area (i.e. choir, sports, art, etc).

I never had to use the school nurse and never had an issue with bullying or safety while at this school. My friends said the nurse was nice. The school has armed police officers always during the school day. Office Hunter was the coolest person of all time and he had awesome stories. The students loved the school police officers.

Terrible school. The principle and staff treat the students terribly. Also, half the ceiling is missing and there were rats scurrying the hallway.
