Great experience, caring teachers, opportunity to go abroad, I went to China thye summer beofre my junior year. I would not trade the experience I had here for anything. Learned a new language and got involved in extra circular activites. Got to eat lunch at all great places copley had to offer becuyase lunch is unsupervised and students are allowed to leave school and come back for class. The whole four years I was there there were probably like 2 altercations (student fight). Three building where you have class so it feels like a college campus. When i have my own children someday I would want them to go here.
