Copper Canyon Academy
ive been going to this school since i was in 5th grade everything they tought then i learned in about 3rd grade but there was some things i learned. Im now in 8th grade and they are starting to teach us new things, you get one on one time with all the teachers, and the classes arent that hard for me but when i do get stuck the teachers help me. The only problem i have with the school is no art or band and no breakfast. Therfore im not attending their high school desert pointe academy, also because they are very behind in technology wise and their sports programs arent that good. But all in all copper canyon academy is a good school. The teachers are excellent.
