Summary:

Cooper J H is a middle school located in Cooper, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 179 students. The school is part of the Cooper Independent School District, which is ranked 543 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Cooper J H maintains a 0% dropout rate, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and surrounding district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.51% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 54.45%. Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Gifted and Talented students, is significantly lower than the state and surrounding district averages. This suggests a need for targeted interventions to address these achievement gaps.

Interestingly, Cooper J H has a higher percentage of White students (71.51%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population. The school's spending per student ($8,138 in 2020-2021) is also lower than the surrounding schools, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Nearby schools, such as Chisum Middle and Honey Grove Middle, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings compared to Cooper J H, highlighting the need for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing institutions.

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.

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.
