Summary:
In zip code 75432, there is one elementary school, Cooper Elementary, serving grades PK-5 in the rural community of Cooper, Texas, as part of the Cooper Independent School District (Isd).
Cooper Elementary serves 490 students and faces significant challenges. A very high percentage of students (76.73%) are economically disadvantaged, and the school consistently scores below the state average in Reading, Mathematics, and Science across all tested grades. The school's state ranking has declined sharply, dropping from the 46th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026. The most critical academic weakness is 5th-grade Science, where only 22.39% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 29.57%. The student-teacher ratio is 17:1, and per-student spending is $9,623.
The data reveals a concerning downward trend, with the school's state ranking dropping 20 percentile points in just two years. The high level of economic disadvantage correlates with below-average academic performance, a common challenge for schools in high-poverty communities. Because Cooper Independent School District (Isd) has only this one elementary school, the school's performance directly defines the entire district's reputation and accountability rating. The per-student spending of $9,623 is notable but has not translated into academic outcomes that meet state averages, suggesting that funding allocation, rather than total funding, may need to be re-evaluated to support intervention programs and teacher training.
