Cooper Academy

Summary:

Cooper Academy is an elementary school located in Clayton, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 444. The school is part of the Johnston County Public Schools district, which is ranked 90 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cooper Academy has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 26.13% White, 30.63% African American, 34.91% Hispanic, 0.68% Asian, and 7.66% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Grade (EOG) test scores, has been mixed in recent years, lagging behind the district and state averages in many subject areas and grade levels. For example, Cooper Academy's 3rd-5th grade math proficiency rates ranged from 53.4% to 58.7% in 2022-2023, compared to the district's 59.5% to 64.5% and the state's 55.9% to 61.1%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.79% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Cooper Academy has some notable strengths. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 13.1 in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools, such as Polenta Elementary, Thanksgiving Elementary, and Riverwood Elementary. Additionally, Cooper Academy performs relatively well for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, often ranking in the top half or top third of their respective subgroups in the state. However, the nearby Johnston Charter Academy outperforms Cooper Academy in most academic areas, particularly in mathematics and reading.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Absolutely horrible. Place feels like a prison. New principal is a joke. No leadership. Do not attend this school if one of the local charter schools works for you. Close Quote

Teachers are too busy trying to make friends with each other and the parents instead of teach the children. They care to much about what everyone thinks about them personally. If they put that much effort into teaching the students the rating for the school would go up and the kids would do better. They treat it like a popularity contest Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
