We LOVE Copper Mesa! The Teachers are wonderful and really care about "teaching". Our daughter is in First Grade but we have neighbors that are older and they are all very happy as well.

Copper Mesa is a fantastic school that offers a great education to my children. The teachers care about the students, parents are appreciated, and the principal is very hands on. I would recommend this school to anyone!

This school is mediocre at best. We attended for Kindergarten and First Grade and have since switched to a charter school. It is so nice to now go to a school where they appreciate parent volunteers. The front desk staff were flat out rude.

This school is fantastic. I've really enjoyed having my child attend this school. The adminstration, teaching staff, educational assistants and everyone who works there have shown to be super talented and caring. I am proud to be a Copper Mesa parent. The curriculum is top-notch. The atmosphere of learning is present around the entire building. They care and attend to all abilities. Great School!

I have 2 children at Copper Mesa and I've been thrilled with their experience thus far. The third grade teaching staff is simply phenomenal. I've been very impressed with the character-building approach to education at this school, as well as the individualization of learning (equal support is given to children who struggle in certain areas as it is to those who work with the gifted/talented coordinator). I would strongly recommend Copper Mesa to any family moving intothe area.

This has been a fantastic school for us. The preschool program at this school is excellent and parent participation is 100%+ . Great place to live and go to school. Wonderful neighborhood.

This is a very un-creative school. We moved to the area when our son was going to 6th grade. Sixth grade is a disaster in this school. They don't have enough staff to teach science so they rotate the kids. The result is a very weak science education. The kids do not learn anything. The teachers are not skilled at all. This school will never be rated excellent as long as they keep these teachers and keep the mediocre attitude about providing education. Excellent subdivision stuck with this elementary school is very sad.
