My experience at Copley is pretty nice. I love the opportunities they provide for academics (honors, AP, CCP) and the numerous clubs each students can choose to be a part of. Also, Copley has become more diverse, with a mix of students with different races/ethnicities and some transfer students from around the world as well.

Copley High School is a relatively diverse highschool, welcoming students of any background, gender identity, race, religion, etc. I believe they do their best to emphasize inclusion where possible. I have had more good experiences with teachers than bad. My only struggle is making friends due to be introverted and quiet, and most people already knowing each other from childhood.

The high school has good academics for the lower level classes but as you climb up to the higher classes it becomes less personal. For some students may find it harder to keep up while others are farther ahead yet are not on a high enough level for an AP course.

The school and staff have been amazing to work with. My son has autism and they work very hard to support him with his individual needs while promoting integration with the general education students.
