The mission of Coppinville Junior High School is to provide the opportunity for all students to master grade-level skills in accordance with the Alabama State Course of Study. The opportunity will be provided regardless of previous academic performance, family background, socioeconomic status, race, or gender. It is our purpose to challenge all students to achieve high levels of academic performance while fostering positive social/emotional behaviors and attitudes.

Our Beliefs -

• Student learning is our chief priority, and we believe all students can learn.
• Every student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
• Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process and are given appropriate opportunities for success.
• The responsibility for advancing the school's mission is shared by teachers, administrators, parents, and the community.
• In order to enable students to become confident, self-directed, life-long learners, we must be committed to continuous improvement.
• Positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff enhance a student's self-esteem.
• School should function as a learning organization and promote opportunities for all those who have a stake in the success of the school.
• Assessments should provide students with a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their expected achievement.
• Student learning is promoted by a safe and physically comfortable environment.

   Each student is expected to study English, social studies, mathematics, science, physical education and an elective. The year-long electives offered in the school year 2007-2008 are art, band, choral music, and reading.   Additionally students may choose the semester courses of art/technology or CDD/technology.  Students must pass five of the six subjects for the year in order to be promoted to the eighth grade.

Grading Scale for the Enterprise City School System

Eagle's Classes
Eagerly Attacking Grade Level Expectations

  As part of our continuing School Improvement  Plan and in accordance with our Mission Statement, we have begun a new program for the 2007-2008 School Year. Each week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays all students are attending Eagle's Classes.  These small classes of twenty students or less meet specifically to practice for the Alabama Reading and Math (ARMT) assessment they will take in the Spring of 2008.  On Monday and Tuesday, reading skills are practiced and on Thursday and Friday, math skills are practiced.  There is no home work assigned in these classes.

 It is the hope of the administration and faculty that this reinforcement will arm the students with the skills and confidence to do well on the ARMT.  Since the ARMT is the forerunner for the Alabama High School Graduation Exam  we further hope that this will help the students  prepare for it and graduate in a timely manner.
