Summary

Cooper High School is a small rural school in Cooper, TX, serving 224 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cooper Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown a remarkable academic rebound, jumping from the 49th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 75th percentile in 2025-2026, making it the highest-ranked among nearby peers like Honey Grove High School and North Hopkins High School. This success is driven by standout performance on STAAR exams, where Cooper leads the area in English I and II reading (75.44% and 70.49% proficient, respectively) and U.S. History (79.03% proficient), all well above state averages.

Cooper excels with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for effectiveness with this group, which makes up about 57% of the student body. The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for 2023-2024, matching North Hopkins High School and far exceeding Commerce High School (91.9% graduation). A key structural advantage is its low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.2:1 and high per-pupil spending of $16,164, which is significantly more than nearby schools like Sulphur Springs High School ($11,774). However, this investment alone doesn't guarantee success, as Fannindel High School spends even more ($16,409) but ranks in the bottom 8% of schools.

Despite these strengths, Cooper has a notable weakness in Algebra I, where only 50% of students are proficient—below the state average of 54.03% and far behind North Hopkins High School (73.91%). The school also shows volatile performance for student subgroups, particularly Special Education students, whose rankings have swung dramatically in recent years. Additionally, historical data indicates challenges with "At Risk" students, who ranked in the bottom 25th percentile. These areas suggest that while Cooper effectively supports many students, targeted interventions in math and for specific groups could further strengthen its overall performance.
