I was just told by workers at Copper Rim that the school's superintendent announced they would be making many people happy by removing all the "undesirable" students, framing it as "out with the old and in with the new." In my view, anyone who treats children this way is inhumane. Kids don’t always conform perfectly, and by effectively discriminating against those who can’t advocate for themselves—especially elementary students—and rejecting their enrollment, it's a very unfortunate situation.

My children have attended this school since prekindergarten. Recently, one of them developed behavioral issues that came to a head at the end of the year. While the school seemed adept at managing day-to-day activities, they struggled with handling behavioral problems. As a result, my children were dismissed abruptly, seemingly without consideration for their needs. The school was accommodating as long as we complied with their expectations, but once we sought outside help, they refused to allow my children to return. Whether this is retaliation remains uncertain. I plan to appeal their decision and take this matter to the state. Additionally, I will be enrolling my children in a different school with genuine reviews from parents rather than staff. This school lacks a solid plan for addressing behavioral issues and appears to have no future strategy other than exclusion.

the faculty is great at dealing with things that are brought to their attention. many things that don't get reported are not dealt with. overall it is a great school that allows maximum parent involvement and focuses on the student.

my son has been at this school for the last 3 years. I was informed that the teachers were going to involve the parents, but I had no idea to what degree. I at least can honestly say I taught my son everything he knows-reading, math, etc. I only now depend on this school for babysitting. I did check around and this is the in thing. send the work home and have the parents home school them. then the teacher will test them. when they refuse. the teacher will assume that the student doesn't know the criteria, however the student just isn't use to doing school work with the teacher.

Copper rim this is the second month of school, my grand-daughter has been bit, pushed down and hit a few times, she has said the teacher told her to hit the kids back if they touch you, we don't raise our children to do that. The teacher said she does not give homework that it's up to the parent to teach them. So why are we paying taxes for the teacher to be there.

All of my children have attended Copper Rim. This year seems to be one the worst. It has become very evident that there are many children falling through the cracks. Some teachers are giving way to much homework while others none at all. I am very concerned about my childrens futures. With the education the Globe schools are providing, or not providing makes the future generation look very bleak.
