This is an amazing school, but for the love of God, do NOT let your student take choir. My child took it and came home crying everyday because of how awful the choir program is. Please for your sanity as well as your children's, don't let them sign up.

At this school, I focused on doing school work. The main issue with this school is the kids, they don't get the discipline they should and when they do, they just get sent to a room for a day or two. There are mainly name calling and racial discrimination, I have also seen a majority of the kids cursing and saying the n word excessively, there was at least 10-20 fights in the 2021-2022 year alone. There was a massive amount of kids disrespecting the teachers and doing whatever they want. Personally would recommend the school for the teachers although the kids gave me a bad experience.

This is a wonderful school, my daughter will be in 4th and son in 1st this fall but this past few months has made me think twice. They hired a non-certified person who finished her classes online, and passed one of the tests, no classroom experience at all and have put her in a TAKS grade. I questioned the administration (it wasn't the principal or teachers that wanted her there) and was told to hush or get banned from the school. I have worked my tail off as a parent, student teacher and substitute and they made my life miserable because I do not think someone with no classroom experience should be in a classroom. My daughter will probably not be there this fall and my son will stay only because of who he will have for first grade. I may sound bitter but no parent whould have to go through what I have gone through the last couple of months. Think twice about putting your kids out here. Hundreds of teachers out of work and this is what they do. She worked as an aid for two years but no classroom experience. Because of this I can only give Cooper South an average rating.
