I love this school. I have had children attending Cook for the past 10 years. I still have 2 currently attending.

Overall, this school is just okay. Anyone can see that it's an old school, and most things are run down including air conditioning, bathrooms, drinking fountains, lockers, etc. The halls don't smell very good, and that hasn't changed at all in my 2 years of attending... But besides that, the overall teaching environment is decent. Obviously, no teacher wants to teach a bunch of early teenagers who are chronically online, but I think all the teachers here genuinely put in effort for the students. Sometimes teachers can be rude or confusing, but for the most part it's pretty good. Personally, I haven't seen too much bullying, but there definitely is some here, especially towards special needs kids and "weird" kids.I definitely think the school counselors could do a better job in helping EVERY student, not just some. Personally, I don't feel very seen or known by my school counselor, so that could for sure be worked on.Overall, Syracuse Jr. High offers a lot of unique classes and has a decent teaching environment, but the school itself could use a hugeeeeeee upgrade.

As a military member, my family has had to move 7 times since my kids were born and have dealt with a wide variety of school experiences. This school has been one of my kids favorite schools. Teachers have been more fun and engaging than at most schools and the school works to involve parents as needed. There is some minor bullying, but nothing beyond what is typically experienced at most schools. The school has also been great at working with my son’s 504 and ensured he has gotten the accommodations he needs.
