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.

We moved to Scottsdale from Europe 2yrs ago, and our oldest daughter had a hard time transitioning. But after she started Copper Ridge she has been flourishing!!! The community around the school is great and the teachers have been amazing too!

Cannot say enough good things about this school. My son has had an overwhelmingly positive experience so far and it’s been great to see him grow in confidence and independence as he bonds with his community there. The teachers are warm and accessible, there is a huge amount of parent participation....

We moved here from out of state 3 years ago and I’m so glad we joined Cooper Ridge! We can’t say enough great things about the all the teachers my kids have had. I love the little community of families that this school has brought together!
