Summary

Cooper Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Cooper Independent School District (ISD) in Cooper, Texas. The school has 469 students and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past several years.

Cooper Elementary faces several key challenges, including low academic performance, with STAAR test scores significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also struggles with disparities in student subgroup performance, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as for Gifted and Talented, At-Risk, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.82% to 74.52% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Cooper Elementary's spending per student has increased in recent years, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools in the Sulphur Springs ISD and Cumby Collegiate ISD generally outperform Cooper Elementary, with higher STAAR test scores and better rankings. For example, Sulphur Springs Elementary, which is 17.38 miles away, ranked 1,749 out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools in 2024-2025, compared to Cooper Elementary's ranking of 3,120.
