This school has many great opportunities for science and math. It also has a great music program, in which I am apart of. Its art program is limited and I hope they grow. Its sports aren't very good and school spirit isn't high.

Starting from kindergarten and ending the 12 grade attending copiague. I Was able to learn the ins and outs of what it's like in copiague. My favorite part about copiague was the diversity. No one could possibly ever feel left out because everyone was connected in some way shape or form. I never really had any bad experiences. Would I do it again per say ? Probably not but I don't regret any part of my childhood.

My overall experience with my school is good. I love the teachers and the different sports and clubs you can partake in, as well as the different events that take place. I do however wish there were more choices in the IT field for classes at the school itself. Like a programming class for example or computer repair class.
