Copley High School is truly one of a kind. You can feel the warmth and sense of community from the moment you enter this High School. Being a student here felt like I was a part of a team or one vast loving family. I find the teacher's acute attention to detail and inextinguishable fervor for their craft to be the formula for success in the classroom. The ability to work at my own pace and to be presented with new challenges daily is something I value the most at Chs. As a child, I transferred to several different schools, yet I've only ever felt at home and complete at Copley High School. This is a place I will forever advocate for!

A safe school with Excellent Academic programs, a wide range of languages (Chinese included) and Advanced Placement. The best part is the diverse student body. All races, cultures and economic backgrounds are represented here. My kids came out of Copley extremely well-rounded and prepared for whatever path they chose.

just a terrible school filled with bullies, druggies, and a horrible teaching staff

The school itself is good I guess but the people here are just terrible. It's hard to make friends here because people are so closed off in their own little cliques and there a lot of spoiled rich kids who think they're too good for everything. There's always some type of drama going on or some rumor being spread and it's not a good environment. I know people may say you find these types of thongs at every school but it's really bad here. I'm a senior this year and I cannot wait to graduate. I wouldn't send my kids to this school if my life depended on it.
