They don't take student safety seriously. a lot of bullying happens after the school. There have been plenty of complaints but still no adult supervision outside the student pick up area. The resource teacher ignores requests to meet with parents and is very condescending. Not professional at all. i

LOVE the school and staff here!!! Wish I could take it with us on our next military move.

All three of my kids have attended Sycamore. The greatest part about the school is the time that the staff takes to develop relationships with them and get to know them on a personal level. I believe this is a foundation to great academics.

My son is thriving in kindergarten at Sycamore. He is receiving a wonderful education, and has made good friends. Mr. Graff, the principal, is wonderful. He helped us with an issue at the beginning of the year. I look forward to several years in the Sycamore community!

My children have attended Copper Ridge for 2 years now, and I have only praises and zero complaints. Every teacher we have had has been caring, communicative, and kind. Administration and other staff ALL know my kids by first and last name and have dedicated a lot of time to getting to know our whole family as well. They have helped 3/4 of my kids into advanced placement programs (My Kinder is still too young yet), and they have been thriving in these programs. They are very family-oriented and have hosted many family events, including dances, bounce house events, field days, and a spring fling, which our family loves. We cannot recommend this school enough. We are so happy we chose to have our kids go here!
