Cooper Elementary

Cooper Elementary sits in the eastern reaches of the Dallas metro, where Garland offers a more affordable, community-rooted alternative to the pricier suburbs nearby. The school's science scores stand out noticeably above its other subjects, making it a potential bright spot for families with kids who are naturally curious about how the world works. Families who are engaged and looking to get involved at the classroom level may find the most success here, particularly those drawn to Garland's tight-knit, working-class neighborhoods and easy access to the broader DFW area.
