THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE. the food is l bozo and the girls at our school are horrible and wear cake loads of makeup and inappropriate outfits. i suppose i am disappointed that they are only just putting in a dress code THIS year. honestly dissatisfied . i was excited to go to middle school but cooper lowered my standards a lot. longfellow seems much better. if you are a parent reconsider transferring your students here for your sake.

Cooper is filled with snobby, immature rich kids. The girls (mostly) aren't that bad but the guys... you won't go throughout your day without hearing the n word or the f slur from them. The school curriculum, especially AAP is OK. The English and History/Civics Departments are pretty good, and the Math and Science departments are average. The teachers are mixed. Some of them are nice, but others are downright unbearable. Overall, it wasn't a terrible place to go to middle school but I was glad to leave.

If I could I wish I could rate this school a 0. Principal McLaughlin is a LAUGH. It is the most egotistic, arrogant, and rude principal you will ever meet! I pray for all the students at the school currently, last time I was a student there, the walls and ceiling were literally empty...
