Summary

Cooper J H is a small middle school serving 189 students in grades 6-8 in the rural community of Cooper, TX, and is part of the Cooper Independent School District (Isd).

Cooper J H has shown significant year-to-year swings in academic performance, making it a less predictable choice compared to nearby schools. For example, while Chisum Middle and Honey Grove Middle consistently rank in the 80th-89th percentile, Cooper J H has fluctuated from the 24th percentile to the 65th percentile and back to the 46th percentile in recent years. A key strength is reading, where 7th-grade scores (63.64% proficient) actually exceeded the state average (54.04%). However, math is a major weakness, with only 23.21% of 6th graders and 32.89% of 8th graders proficient, well below state averages. The school also struggles to challenge its highest-achieving students, with Gifted and Talented students ranking in the 16th percentile statewide. In contrast, Sulphur Springs Middle offers Algebra I for 8th graders, allowing top math students to earn high school credit early—an opportunity not available at Cooper J H.

Despite these challenges, Cooper J H has shown flashes of excellence, particularly in supporting students with special needs, who ranked in the 96th percentile in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has a high rate of economic disadvantage, with nearly 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. However, this is not destiny, as Honey Grove Middle achieves an 83rd percentile ranking with a similar poverty rate. Cooper J H sits in a middle ground, outperforming Commerce Middle (5th percentile) but falling short of its higher-performing neighbors. The school’s inconsistent performance suggests a need to identify and replicate the successful strategies from its best year to build a more stable foundation for all students.
