Summary

Cooper Elementary School in Loganville, GA, is a large Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 1,520 students in the Gwinnett County district, and it has earned a 4-star rating every year on record. The school currently ranks 267th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools (78th percentile), and it has been climbing steadily—from 373rd two years ago to 295th last year—showing a clear upward trend in recent years.

Cooper’s biggest standout is its exceptional attendance: only 8.1% of students are chronically absent, compared to 15.0% for the district and 17.7% statewide. That’s a 41% drop in absenteeism over three years, and it’s among the best in the area—better than Grayson Elementary (7.0% is close, but Cooper beats Lovin Elementary at 8.2%, and far outperforms Magill Elementary at 15.2% and Simonton Elementary at 13.9%). Academically, math is a clear strength: 4th graders hit 66.1% proficiency (vs. 50.1% statewide), and 3rd graders reached 58.1%. However, 5th grade math (52.6%) barely edges the district average and dipped from last year, while 5th grade science (54.8%) exactly matches the district—suggesting room for growth in upper grades. The school also excels with its African American students, ranking 51st statewide (94th percentile) for that group.

Cooper spends $14,256 per student—less than nearby Pharr Elementary ($16,180) and Lovin Elementary ($16,836)—yet achieves comparable or better results, pointing to efficient use of resources. It outperforms several nearby schools like Magill, Simonton, and Lovin, while trailing high performers like Pharr (89th percentile) and Starling Elementary (86th percentile). With a favorable 13.4:1 student-teacher ratio and a strong attendance culture, Cooper is a solid, efficient choice for families—just keep an eye on 5th grade math and 4th grade reading as areas to watch.

Open Quote This review is to rate the school on the way they handled a Racial hate situation during a game of tag at the weekend STEM camp. A 4th grade student Called my child Racial slurs mixed with harsh curse words about five times with pushing. To make things worse teachers allowed the student that assaulted my child to get in line in front of my son and the kid repeated the racial slur in front of the teachers. The teachers are not trained in handling these types of situations and they seem to not care about the safety of certain students. This was the second time at this school this has happened to my child and we have no way of finding out what punishment or administrative changes will take place to not allow an attacker get close to the student they attacked. All of a sudden the Racial slur turned into a whole different word but the high frequency curse words did not. We had one of three teacher's that interrogated my child tell my wife and i over the phone we should work with our child on calming down after a child committed a racial hate crime under their supervision. No empathy at all. Close Quote
