I live in the neighborhood. Both my grown children attended Coker Elementary and now my three grandchildren are there. Coker is a fantastic school with exceptional teachers and staff. The new principal (couple of years now) is amazing. She has made wonderful improvements to one of the oldest schools in the district. The feeder schools of Bradley MS and Churchill HS are also great. No complaints from this former parent and now grandparent.

August 31, 2022I hand selected this school for my son. I have been a NEISD parent for 8 years. I could of selected different preferred dual language campuses, but chose Coker for various reasons. Other campuses may be newer, have better technology, and have more resources, but what makes Coker special is the community (parents, staff, teachers). Coker is one of the oldest Elementary schools around. Full disclosure- I’ve been an educator for 20 years. My opinion should mean something for people wondering if this is a good school. The faculty at Coker is excellent!

This school has been nothing but great in our experience ever since we’ve enrolled our son since Kinder. He is now in 4th grade. Each year has proven their attention to academics as high focus. The GT program and HAM program teaches on such a high skill level as well, that it’s great and comforting to know that the children are getting quality attention and education. This school is very highly recommended!

I really appreciate the dual language program at this school. It is a great opportunity for kids to learn Spanish. Kids at this school get 15-20 minutes of recess per day, regardless of grade level. They will keep the kids inside if it rained earlier in the day, if it's a little chilly outside, or if they want to punish children. My kids had about 50/50 odds of getting a wonderful teacher, or a teacher who yelled at and punished kids all the time. The school fought us on getting an IEP and it was very challenging to get teachers to follow through on the accommodations written in the IEP. If your kiddo is neurodiverse or BIPOC, do not expect to get good support here from admin or teachers.

All in all the school environment is to have a successful child...all teachers and staff deeply care for the children and will work endlessly with the parent to provide the best education possible

I have dabbled with the idea of charter schools or private schools but always said that as long as Coker is doing a good job for my kids, I'm not going to assume somewhere else is better just because it's trendy. I've had a great experience so far.

The school has been recently renovated, and is now an even better and more resourceful place for our kids to learn. We have two students enrolled and have been very happy with the level of attention and the education they are getting.

I'm one of the Watch D.O.G.S. at the school and I'm always amazed at how they are able to keep so many kids so well behaved and moving smoothly between activities. My kids are in the dual language program and they're learning a great deal. Great school.

ANYONE who is displeased with Coker teachers or staff administration HAS TO HAVE A PERSONAL ISSUE that is causing the problem. I have had children here since the 1980s and now have grandchildren there TOP NOTCH school in everyday and teachers/staff show genuine affection and concern as they teach our children and grandchildren an education to last a lifetime

If I was able to give zero stars I would. The staff at this school are rude! Unrealistic inconsiderate baboons ! I'm looking to purchase another home in a different district please! Please!please ! Do not send your children here!

Our kids attended Coker and now our grandkids are there in the dual language program. We have had excellent experiences with the faculty and staff who have always been helpful and encouraging. We are a family of educators and realize attitudes can make or break a school year. Keep up the great work Coker Cubs!!

This school is average at best. Staff and faculty are as cold as ice. Located right off a main road it has the feel of a high school and the number of students to back that statement. Not somewhere I would be happy to boast my child goes here. We live in the district so are basically forced to go here as we missed the deadline for School Choice due to military relocation. Parents are not allowed to drop off their children inside the building. I would not recommend this school to military families or newcomers to San Antonio. It's horrible and we are only two days in. If you are used to high quality education this school is not for you.
