We've been at Copper Ridge School for 5 years and have been very pleased with our experience. The Principal, Mr. Eyerman, is very engaged with both students and parents and he's extremely committed to the success of the school. Teachers are great, the PTO does a tremendous job with school events and most importantly nowadays, my children feel safe attending school.

From the principal down to the school's counsellor The reviews speak for them...
