This school has a severe administration issue.There is a good ole boy system, typical small-town politics. If you attend church, alumni with the current administration, or have a student who plays football... you'll be treated like gold. The only kids that matter are the ones who attend their bible study clubs, throw a pig skin, or shake pompoms.Bullying is uncontrolled here... where the same students are verbally threatening, physically harming, and nothing is ever done about it. There is a lack of discipline here, which causes disruptions almost daily with the students' education. Students do not feel safe, and parents are never properly notified of emergency situations. If your child has special needs, medical conditions, or has mental health issues that you need to have appointments frequently, don't count on this school to work with you AT ALL. They will tell you they have all your doctors' notes, then you'll get letters threatening you with truancy every few weeks. Even when your child is recovering from surgery that you've submitted the required documents.The teachers are not preparing students for a Highschool level of education, not even in advanced academic classes. Advanced Language Arts doesn't assign reading a single novel, writing a single report, but instead instructs children to make a mockery of the Holocaust by writing a "diss-track" from Anne Frank's point of view. (Anne Frank rap battling nazis)Unethical, poor taste, not educational.Physical Education (a state required class) does nothing but have the kids sit in the gym talking or playing on their phones. That time could have been used in another academic class, or elective. Theft is a huge problem on this campus, as they don't allow students to lock and secure their belongings. They are to leave their back backs on the hall floor during class. Not allowed to bring them into the classroom or use the thousands of lockers that are installed in the hallways. Students' concerns will be dismissed; parent concerns will be dismissed. Teachers share with their students count downs to their retirement and constantly remind them they don't want to be there. Students are constantly fed the teacher's political and religious views.More support needs to be given to the Arts at Coppinville.The band director is the one and only reason we continued to attend Coppinville, she's absolutely amazing.

This school is incredibly ableist. Disability support is rarely given and disabled students are left to drown. The nurses don't do their job and tell disabled kids to stop coming in so much, as well as violating health plans. The school does the bare minimum to call themselves "inclusive", leading parents to think this school is the right fit for their child. Several teachers have made homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and racist comments casually in class and they get no repercussions. Substitutes are always on their phone talking in class. Very few teachers seem to actually want to be at school and don't teach at all, they just hand out worksheets expecting students to understand what they're doing. The mental health and bullying support is slim to none. Fights are constant and those involved are just told not to do it again. During the pandemic, they did the bare minimum to enforce the mask mandate, which left disabled and ill children at risk. They threaten disabled students who HAVE to miss school with court dates and truancy charges rather than helping them succeed in school and giving them the support system they need. If you want your child to have an inclusive, happy, and supportive high school life: do not pick Enterprise.

I am extremely disappointed with how bullying is handled at this school. I have gone up to the school multiple times for the same ongoing issue, and there was never any real resolution.Despite repeatedly reporting the bullying, it continued, and my child suffered significant emotional harm as a result, including depression and suicidal thoughts tied directly to the stress of the situation.I have also spoken with other parents who have experienced the same lack of action and similar unresolved issues.Both from my own experience and what I have heard from other parents, there is also a concerning lack of care from some staff, including accusations made without evidence, belittling of students, and little to no support for children dealing with difficult home situations such as absent parents or family instability.When I brought this to administration, the vice principal was dismissive and did not treat the situation with appropriate urgency or concern.No child should have to experience this level of neglect when seeking help. The lack of action, communication, and follow-through reflects a serious failure to protect student wellbeing.
