Natalya Lesnikovskaya: I've been very lucky to see my son attend the Cooper Middle School! The teachers are highly professional, dedicated, kind and are always aware of the self-esteem challenges of a growing child! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for another spectacular academic year!

M.K: this school is one of the worst schools in the Northwest suburbs. They teachers want to be the childs friend instead of teaching them. Most of the staff plays favorites so if you do not have a large amount of money your child istossed to the curb. There are always fights and the buses are horrible. If yor child has special needs you should forget this school.
