Copper Basin School
4
The school and district have come a very long way since 2006. Academics are up and discipline is on the decline. Kindergarten and First grades are using the Common Core Standards this school year (2011-2012). Students are very active in sports (grades 6-8). There's tutoring for students who have difficulities with certain concepts.
