Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School

Very Good School Highly recommended. Have great quality teachers

My daughter transitioned from a private school into copper beech and did exceptionally well. The teachers really kept lines of communication open and any issues were always addressed. The only drawback is that it is quite a large middle school which breaks down into two high schools.

Despite having an excellent curriculum and a mostly wonderful faculty, the size of the school is a major issue. 1800 students crammed into an outdated architectural model makes for a stampede atmosphere during the class changes and does not help the psychological state of the students as it contributes to feelings of anxiety. With all the money in the school district I would think that in the 30 years I have known this school that they would have expanded enough to correct this problem, but sadly, no.

Recently got a long term suspension overturned after reaching out to some gov't organizations to look into this school. I will make it short but I can write a book about this school about their mistreatment of non-white students, working on creating a website to show all these documents & secret recorded conversations with school staff. My son was always academically a 90 student but with this ridiculous long suspension we were forced to send him to a private school, he was heart broken at 1st about losing his friends but he was able to adapt and is doing great, with advise from some senators we are in the process of getting back this tuition. This school is so bad they contact my son's school without my consent and told them my son was a really bad student after the princpal of his new school contacted me and I informed her I needed this in writing. I am sorry but this principal, counselor, registrant and superintendent must go.
