Honestly the human rights are unfathomably the worst in the district. I got yelled at just for being in line. I was removed from the library for "keeping me away from a group that has negative influences". I see the picture, but honestly that was just a bit too far. In my first year I missed a lot o
Posted by a community member on 3/13/2026This is a school that cares about each child and how they learn. It goes beyond teaching to the test to teach to the student. It also is a school that has many ways for parents to be involved in the classroom and beyond.
Posted by a parent on 2/10/2017Excellent and caring school!The teachers are committed to educsting all kids well!
Posted by a parent on 1/27/2017The school has provided support and guidance for my kids. They have been allowed to work at their level with guidance and challenge as needed. The parent community is strong, the academics are strong and the diversity of identities, families and children is wonderful!
Posted by a parent on 1/5/2016I am very happy with this school. My daughter has really thrived here academically. It is a small school, she wishes there were more students, but I have seen such great growth from her. It's been wonderful to see her transformation.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf I could give this school zero stars, I would. The administration is completely incompetent, and the teachers don't seem to care about the well-being of the students at all! My child has been struggling, and despite multiple attempts to reach out for help, we've been ignored time and time again.Let's start with the lack of communication. Emails go unanswered, phone calls are never returned, and when you finally get a hold of someone, they act like you're the one being unreasonable! This is a school, for heaven's sake! I shouldn't have to chase down the staff to get basic information.The facilities are another nightmare. The classrooms are outdated, dirty, and in desperate need of repairs. The technology is laughably out of date, making it impossible for students to keep up with the modern world. It's as if the school is stuck in the last century, and they have no plans to change.But worst of all is the bullying. My child has come home in tears on more than one occasion, and despite multiple complaints, NOTHING has been done. The staff claims they have a "zero tolerance policy," but it's obvious that they do nothing to enforce it. How are students supposed to learn in such a toxic environment?If you're considering sending your child to this school, don't. Save yourself the headache and find somewhere that actually cares about your child’s education and well-being. This place is a disgrace.Parent Review1y ago - Cooper School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhile I'm not typically a fan of MPS, Cooper is an exceptional school with a dedicated staff that truly cares about its students. My daughter has had three incredible teachers during her time there, each contributing to her academic progress and personal growth. Of all the schools she's attended, Cooper has best met her needs and has consistently worked with me to support her academic development.Parent Review1y ago - Garland School
