Cooper Elementary School

Somewhat aggressive staff. Teachers are good towards students but can be aggressive and rude.

Weaver is a great neighborhood school that is lead by caring and responsive staff. Every time I am there, I am welcomed warmly by the office staff. The principal is very involved and responsive and the teachers are caring and dedicated to students. Even though I am sure things have been tough for teachers over the last couple of years, I always see students and staff smiling at dismissal. I have had nothing but positive experiences at Weaver!

This school has gone downhill since the new principal was hired this year. Unfortunately, she does not seem to know what she is doing, and her decisions have caused serious problems for staff and students. Good, dedicated employees are being let go, while others who behave unethically are kept on. For example, the registrar has been known to sign parents’ consent forms without their permission, yet nothing is done about it.The leadership team only cares about protecting their own positions rather than supporting staff. There is little to no support for teachers or employees, and instead leaders work in ways that only benefit themselves. The school board seems unaware of what is really happening and continues to support these leaders, which makes things even worse.The biggest mistake the board made was hiring this new principal, who lacks knowledge, experience, and respect from the school community. Morale is at an all-time low, and unfortunately, this leadership has created a very toxic environment.
