When we were dropping her off she ran up to a parent and hugged him and I apologized. He was so kind and I think it actually made his day. Everything about this school has been pleasant so far and I hope it continues because we have been blessed. Thank you everyone for your hard work and dedication it shows.

They all stopped what they were doing to sing baby shark to my 1 year old who was saying "Baby shark!" He froze with all the attention but smirked a bit.

I chose this school because everyone in my community used to rave about it…read more Let's start from the beginning: my son started in kindergarten and things seemed okay-ish. But once he hit first grade, red flags started waving like it was a parade. I noticed his entire class was filled with kids of color -- which in itself is fine -- but then on a field trip, I saw another class (shoutout to Mrs. Vanderholt's class) that was almost exclusively white. It was awkwardly obvious. I asked his teacher why the classes looked segregated. She hit me with a shrug. Now, about that field trip. While I was waiting for my son to come out of the restroom, I overheard a teacher (shout out again to the same teacher) ask, "Is he blaaaack?!" when a staff member reported a kid playing in the bathroom. The staff member looked like they were still in high school and clearly had no clue how to respond. The teacher then stormed into the restroom and screamed the child's name like she was summoning a demon. That poor boy -- I have no idea what he goes through daily, but if that was her "public field trip" voice, I shudder to think about her "classroom voice." Then came the conferences. I use the word conferences loosely because they were about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. The teacher-to-student ratio? A joke. And apparently, speaking above a whisper is now a felony. My son came home saying they played a game called "Cemetery" -- where kids pretend to be dead... by staying silent. Yep. That's the actual game. Can't make this up. And no, I didn't teach him that, nor does anyone in our home play "funeral-themed" games for fun. Oh, and to add insult to injury: I once recommended this school to a friend whose child was literally reading at 2 years old. She drove 40 minutes just to enroll him here. What did the school do with her little prodigy? The conferences considered him "average"-- He's now 9, reading at an eighth-grade level, and crushing math. So unless their problem was "he's too smart for us," I don't get it. Maybe his skin and hair didn't fit the school's unspoken criteria. Bottom line: If you're considering this school -- RUN. I wanted to believe in Copperwood. I truly did. But between the weirdly segregated classes, tone-deaf teachers, useless conferences, and "play dead" games, I don't recommend. Although, the librarian there is PHENOMENAL!!!! Talk about a spunky, sweet soul! He helps with pick up and drop off every morning and truly set my day up for success! shot out to MR. R!

I went to this school years ago from K-8th. I wouldn't like my children to go here, only because…read morethe teachers are not helpful. I struggled in math (still do) because my 5th grade teacher, failed to teach us an ounce of math. Set me back for years. This is the same teacher that made an announcement about my older sister who she saw on TV, and directly insulted my sister, calling her rude, intolerable, uneducated, and falsely speaking on behalf of a student body (she still works there today) then she proceeded to e-mail my mother to tell her I was not being truthful. Had an occasion where a principal had threatened me, used an incident that happened outside of school as a weapon because she was the aunt of the girl i had issues with. The Choral program and teacher changed my life, along with the best teacher ever, Ms. Land.

My son goes to this school and we haven't had a better education experience than here. The…read moreteachers are all very attentive, the staff as a whole is great, and my son enjoys the classes. He's always excited to tell me about his day and the level of parent involvement is wonderful. Scholastic Reading Club letters go home every month and the teachers really do their best to help kids become better learners. I'm not the biggest fan of Arizona's heat, rude people, bad driving or extreme weirdness, but this school is amazing enough that I think I'll stay here for as long as I can manage to. Nothing is more important than a child's education and this is the place to help get that for them.

The curriculum that heritage teaches is AMAZING!…read more Most teachers are new with about 1-2 years teaching experience. Lots of mis-communication between staff (teachers, administrative and bus drivers) My daughter loves this school. It is a charter school. Uniforms are a must and Fridays are Dollar for Duds ($1 to dress casual) the money goes to the school or charities. It needs a lot of work but I know they will improve fast since it is a newer school.

The schools we have dealt with in Arizona have been hard to adjust to because of questionable practices relating to the staff, the curriculum, and grading. We found where we belong at Heritage Elementary. From the curriculum offered to the respect given to students and their families. Students are allowed to be themselves in a welcoming and secure learning environment. The environment at this school allows students to grow and encourages them to strive to be even better. My children regained their confidence thanks to the staff at this school. They felt welcomed from the moment they stepped in the front office: With each staff member we encountered, the welcoming feeling grew even stronger. Ashley, Sharon, Mr. Dye, Mr. Mitchell, and Mrs. Kinsey just to name a few. Thank you for creating such a welcoming learning environment. Forever grateful for giving us the chance to once again experience how a school should operate. Parents, check out the curriculum and all the activities offered at this school.
