Open Quote We love coperni 3. I have two kids who go here and they are doing very well. They started out lower and having trouble reading, but they can both read now and are doing great at math too. The teachers really care about the students and it makes a big difference in how much my kids want to go to school every day. Close Quote

Open Quote We were so excited to enroll I. This school as we had a family member that raved reviewed in the past, however the current administration is a nightmare. They do not communicate with families and students are not treated with respect and constantly yelled at. We had an incident and reached out to the CEO Mike Miles to which he responded in a very unprofessional manner and accused us of using his email as a social media platform to spread disinformation and threw insults at me for being a concerned parent and told us if we didn’t like the school to just leave. This place is just a glorified daycare and this year they have lost almost half the staff due to the toxic environment. If you value your children education, do not enroll in this school or you will regret it. Your child will come home everyday saying how much they hate school and it’s like a prison. Close Quote

Open Quote We were so excited for Coperni 3 to open, we went to all of the open houses, bbq’s while it was being built. It was extremely lacking once school started. My 3 boys didn’t enjoy the way the classes were set up, no recess since it’s in a shopping mall. They bus the kids to a trampoline park or other places to run around. The food is brought in because there is no cooking facility at the school. The kids hated the food. The highly qualified principal who was supposed to run the school ended up quitting a few months after the school opened and the lady who took over was horrible! Had no clue how to handle kids with an IEP or a 504 plan. Just overall we had an awful experience at this school in the mall. Why would you open an elementary school in a mall where there are shootings happening in the area on a regular basis? We got the heck out of this awful place and my boys are so much happier.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
