Copper Ridge Elementary School

Not only is this school amazing, the staff makes sure it is like a little community. I really believe the score needs to be a '10'! It is truly a great environment for children to blossom.

A great community school with the best teachers you can find in East TN.

I love this school. My girls have been very happy here. The staff and teachers all make a point to remember something about each child and make them feel special. I will be sad to move on to middle school.

I have been teaching here for just a short while and I can say a whole lot about the staff that I teach with. I have worked in many other schools in the county as well as outside of the county and the teachers at Copper Ridge are the most hardworking staff I've every seen. They are always looking for the best interest of each and every child. They go to the ends of the earth to provide a nurturing environment and I am very impressed! Even though I am zoned for another school in the area that has good marks, I will definitely transfer my children here someday!

My girls have been going to Copper Ridge for 3 years now and they love it. I am not originally from Knoxville so when I moved to Powell we were told we were zoned for Copper Ridge...my first thought was I have heard nothing about this school and that made me very nervous. Once visiting I knew it was going to be great.

I am very happy with Cooper Ridge. When my litte girl started Kindergarten last year, I knew nothing about the school. I had not even heard of it. As the year went I learned to love it. Her teacher, Mrs Ali Umburger, was great. She was what my little girl needed. They encourged parent involvement. This year is going great also. I have gotten to know more of the staff. The office staff cann't be any friendlier or helpful. In my opinion, Cooper Ridge is the best school in Knox County. My oldest daughter will be there until middle school and my two youngest will go there also.

This is a wonderful school. The teachers are great! I have been amazed how much my son learned in first grade last year.He ca read almost as good as I can. The curriculum is alot but the teachers really do their best nd above their duty to do their job. Mr. Crossland in my book is the best principal a school could ever hope for. Copper Ridge is a family not just a school. I went there myself growing up and I thought it was a good school then but it has grown and has improved much more. If you are considering Copper Ridge for your Child's School then you are choosing one of Tennessee's finest. I highly recommend!
