Son was traumatized after attending only 4 weeks at this school. Teacher would NOT follow his 504, he came home covered in bruises (yes I have pictures), and complained of other kids bullying him. We had to pull him because of how bad his panic attacks got and is now currently in trauma therapy.

Both of my children attended CES K-5 and it was a wonderful experience. I also volunteered at the school 1-2x per week, in the classroom, most years and for events. The teachers are engaged with the students and very supportive. The administration is first class and the community is welcoming and wonderful. We had a couple of issues over the years from bullying, fighting, generalized elementary kid drama. Every instance was dealt with my child's best interest at heart proactively and sufficiently. I realize everyone has their own experience. The poor reviews of this school are not aligned at all with what I saw or experienced. I think if you are a reasonable human who takes responsibility for yourself, your actions and your children then you will have a positive experience.

We love copperfield. My son transfered there in the middle of 1st grade and the teachers and support staff have been great, Thats not to say that we havent had issues, but when we did I felt like they listened and we were able to come up with a solution. Overall, its a great school

Dishonest leadership who can't be trusted. Tax payers deserve a change.

My son in Sped came with bruises all the time , " because he hit himself in the bathroom door" , the teachers instead send him to the principals office every time instead of helping him with his behavior , we never hear of any concern from his teachers until they were asked for his school evaluation. Horrible place.

Bad leadership, poor teaching. Started homeschooling after my child was hit by teacher. My children are happier and are actually learning now that I've pulled them.

My oldest child is finishing 2nd grade here and her younger brother is finishing his kindergarten year. My wife and I have been very involved with the school, have gotten to know the staff and couldn't be happier with the teachers and administration. The music program is phenomenal; the teachers at every grade level are inspired, skilled, and extremely involved with their students; the various community outreach activities the school performs are well thought out and executed; and the advancement I've seen in my children is excellent. The school faces many challenges stemming from some of the areas serviced and schools servicing similar demographics (~85% economically disadvantaged) do not fare well; however, Copperfield routinely delivers excellent results, especially in comparison to similar schools. Our family is ready to move out of our starter home, but we've decided to wait at least until our oldest finishes 5th grade as I'm not convinced that a more affluent neighborhood will provide as good of an education. The middle school in the area is, unfortunately, less appealing and we will try to avoid it.
