As an old student, I found this middle school the most enjoyable one I've been too. IN 6th grade before covid the lunch hours, the campus was very attractive to us. The teachers are kind and sweet, and the counselor Mrs.Grace was so so nice. I would love to go back. I believe this school was the best middle school in Placer county. If you're going here, Have fun, And don't stress. Middle school there isn't as scary as it seems. Good luck Cobras!

Good although I feel sorry for students that are neglected.

This is our daughter's second year in California and attending Cooley. The score here is laughable. Someone needs to really look over the ratings system! I would rate our experience with Coiley as a 9/10. I wish they had more after school clubs and activities but otherwise I have no complaints. My daughter loves her teachers and has loved the school since we moved here last year.

As a parent and member of this community I honestly don't see how Cooley went from being an 8-9 rating to a 6 overnight.... Looking at test scores which are above the national average across the board should speak volumes. I also saw that all Middle Schools in the immediate area took a hit. Perhaps someone at GreatSchools decided to add some data to artificially drag down some really GREAT schools in a great community for what reason.... I don't know but don't let the 6 out of 10 fool you all schools in this area are top notch, and have very educated and professional staff.

Cooley is an amazing school! The activities and clubs, are great such as, AVID, reptile club, Stand up now club, and many more! The teachers are smart, fun, entertaining while they teach, and know how to be strict when they need to. A majority of the students care about their grades and school, and actually want to succeed. However, some students are thinking in the opposite direction, but that is why Cooley staff/teachers help them go far, and do good in middle school. I think Cooley is the place to make middle school A LOT easier! :)
