Copley High School offers a variety of courses, activities, resources, and support to help each individual student make the best of their high school career. This district's community is very close and involved. Like every school, however, it does have some flaws. The biggest flaw most students would argue is the lack of quality in school lunches.

Teachers are very supportive, and there is a good variety of AP classes. There is some support for wanting to learn computer skills, but there is a very limited amount of classes you can take, especially in advanced knowledge.

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.
