My son is a special needs child who has received amazing support from the school and staff. I am truly amazed by the quality of support I have received for this school.

The first two years my children attended they did really well. This past year that they had gone my son ended up with a teacher who had come from a low class low income school located in Kissimmee Florida. She catered to the children in her classroom that she felt were of the same background as the school she had came from. That being said my son has a little more than most and she made that known to the classroom and she made him feel bad about that. She was very rude to him belittling demeaning always hurting his self-esteem. She would let the other kids in the classroom do it as well too. My husband tried to speak to her multiple times , she ran to the assistant principal and made my husband out to be some monster who was coming up there to attack her so my husband could never speak to her because she knew what she was doing was wrong and she didn’t want to be called out on it. She was a horrible teacher and I can’t believe she is still there. I also believe that Monica Schlosser needs to step up her game as a principal. If she wasn’t ready for the role then she shouldnt have taken the job. She has no backbone she lets the teachers run all over her and run the school anyway they want. From having fundraisers at bars to having teachers come in hung over from the night before trying to teach students. Unprofessional at its finest if you ask me. ALSO the assistant principal Mr. Pruneda is no better he is a wet mop he just sits there and does nothing until pushed. His favorite past time Is standing up front with the front desk ladies I’m flirting with them all day. Somehow I don’t believe this is in his job description. My final review of the school is a zero. I would give it a -0 if I could. the school is not a great school. Where we have relocated is a great school and my children have thrived.

My daughter deals with ADHD, and the school took significant steps to ensure that she received the best education possible, and that she was dealt with fairly, and that other children were not disrupted. Daughter loves the school.

Our daughter seems to really enjoy her school. I love that it's a small school with only about 18-21 kids per class as this allows more one on one and class community. I expect my child to be cared for and not just a number.

Teachers and support staff groups WAY above the norm to ensure kids are getting what they need to be successful.

I have 2 children at this school and they love it. My daughter went in unable to read and ended up being the best reader in her Kindergarten class! My son came out so knowledgeable about a variety of topics. The teachers are fantastic and they expect a lot from the students...which they should. They are our future:)

Very disappointed with this school. I found that most of the teachers here will say anything to make you believe they care about your child's best interest. I had expressed my concerns regarding some of my child's academic deficits, during conferences, and while both 4th and 5th grade teachers acknowledged the deficits, their response was always the same. They would be happy to consult with the reading specialist and get back with me regarding my concerns. Of course, I heard absolutely NOTHING else from either teacher or the reading specialist. I ended up going outside the school to get my child additional help.

My children started going to school about two weeks ago, now the first week I did feel very well about placing my children in this school because my sons interest took an interest to my son and I was very pleased to see that she was very communicative with me overall I have to say the TEACHER is amazing, however the following week came along and I was trying to reach out to the school in the effort to try to provide my kids a Friday school shirt so they would not feel left out I never received a call back and I went that Friday to vent my frustrations to the front office about the situation now the ladies response at the front desk was "are you sure you called the school?" Because we would have told you what was the procedure into getting a shirt and then followed with a snippy attitude referring to a blue page in the back of registration form and stated that it was in the registration packet.

Organic lunches at this school are delivered by Tiny Meals. This is a great school and they accept organic school lunches made by Tiny-Meals.com. Cooper City Elementary is a small school with 790 students and a caring staff.

Coming from another country I have to say Cooper City Elementary is very good! sometimes parent-teacher communication is non- existent but I think that is a norm in a US public school. Not knowing exactly what to expect this, our first year, was difficult. Sometimes we did not acknowledge that parents can join children to certain activities and found no one to tell us in advance that parents were allowed, we know is difficult but coming from a private out of the US school, it was easier to communicate with teachers even in higher grades, but overall the school is very good. Thank you

Cooper City Elementary School--- Not there if you really need them. The school is more worried about their reputation than helping the children in it.

My 5 children went to Cooper City elementary in the 80s and 90s and now my grandchildren attend there. They definitely cater to the smarter children, while those who need a little extra help or time to understand certain subjects, get left behind. The ESE program needs improvement and some of the teachers do little to help instill confidence in those children who need it most. I understand that budget cuts may be blamed for some of the problems, but teachers and staff should try concentrating more on the shy, quiet kids who need a little extra help. The smart kids will always do well.

My daughter has been at the school for 5 years. She is in 4th grade moving to 5th. We love the school and the staff. All of her teachers have been great and easy to communicate with. This year she had a new teacher to the school, Miss Rodgers. She is excellent. My daughter really likes her and she was fast to answer any of my concerns. The office staff is very helpful. We have used the aftercare for the past 4 years and my daughter is very happy there. Often times telling me to come later to pick her up.

I am very disapointed with this school, most of the staff are rude and careless. My dauther has been bullied by the "popular girls" and after repeated visits with the teacher nothing has been done. it is obvious that the teacher is indiferent to my daughter and the girls sence this, so they try to hurt her as much as they can by taking her stuff and they know they won't be reprehended. They said nothing can be done which is okay, but at least they should fake that a conversation will take place prohibiting this kind of behavior but they didn't even bother. I was screamed at because my daughter had a phone that she was't supposed to have. Instead of them maybe pretending to care or work something out? But again, that would be too much to ask from the faculty at this school.

My son has been a student of Cooper City Elementary for 5 years (he is currently in 4th grade; has been attending since Kindergarten). One of the reasons we moved to Cooper CIty was for the schools in the town. Let me just say that we could not have asked for a better school for our son. The Teachers and staff go above and beyond for the welfare of our son. Any child would be lucky to attend this school.

Phenomenal school! Administration does a wonderful job of keeping parents informed. Teachers are doing great at transitioning to Common Core Standards. My children are challenged and we are so happy!
