Copper Canyon School

My son was admitted to this school for there Duel Language program. My son had a rough time in Spanish so we had to remove him from the DLI program. He said one of his teachers were mean and the Spanish was just to hard. (My child was not the only one with issues in this class) Because of this he had some behavior problems. They denied his out of bounds for regular 1st grade not careing at all that his therapist said changing schools would be worse for him. There VP, the refocus aide and the Spanish teacher were the only people that tried to help. The principal is no good and straight up lied to me about not moving my son. Also, when trying to work with his English teacher for the behavioral stuff she didn't follow any of the suggestions given by me and my sons therapist. I highly suggest a change in principals. A principal that doesn't care about a child's wellbeing is not looking out for the kids.

Both of my daughters went here and were involved in the German DLI. My oldest started to experience bullying in the 2nd grade and I thought we had it handled. However 2 weeks into the 3rd grade it started back up because they sat the bully right next to her in class. She came home bruised from the hip down to her knee from him stabbing at her with his pencil. And when I took pictures and went to the teacher she tried to dismiss it. She out right said "I can't picture (name omitted) doing that he is just a good kid. I will move your daughter to the back of the line and put her in a different seat in class". I found it ridiculous that the teacher wanted to move my daughter because another student could not keep their hands to them selves. It only got worse from there. My daughter began falling behind and was struggling with tests due to her anxiety at school. By 5th grade she was failing every subject. I tried to get her on a 504 to accommodate her anxiety and the teachers were less than helpful. In the recommendation from the Dr. she was to be given extra time on tests and allowed to sit away from other students. The teachers argued with me about it and then to appease me said they would do what they could. However, nothing happened. And the bullying increased 10 fold to the point my daughter was coming home in tears asking why everyone in her class hates her, and why is she so stupid. I had enough at that point and pulled both of my daughters out to home school. I would never send my children back to that school. And in all honesty it has ruined me for any public school.

Academic excellence, individual student attention, child development and growth is found here. Teachers and classrooms are organized with a stimulating and caring environment.
