Summary

Cooper Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 509 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Tulsa School District, which is ranked 387 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cooper Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Tulsa and Oklahoma state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 16% and 13% for Tulsa, and 26% and 26% for the state, respectively. The school also struggles to serve its student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Oklahoma elementary schools for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Cooper Elementary has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.6% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.
