Summary:
Copperopolis has one listed school, Copperopolis Elementary, serving grades K–6 and enrolling 216 students; there are no other listed local schools for families to compare. In 2025–2026, the school was above the Mark Twain Union Elementary district in all three subjects—by 6 percentage points in ELA, 8 in math, and 13 in science. Compared with California, it was 5 points behind in ELA, 11 points behind in math, and essentially even in science. The most important concern is the school’s math result, which remained notably below the state.
Within the school, fifth grade is the clearest bright spot: results were 15 points above the state in ELA and 3 points above in math; fifth-grade science was also about level with the state. Results were uneven elsewhere. Fourth-grade ELA was 18 points below the state, while fourth-grade math was 20 points below; sixth-grade ELA was 11 points below and sixth-grade math was 27 points below. Third-grade ELA was 4 points above the state, but third-grade math was 9 points below. Because this is the only listed school, it is both the top and bottom of the local list—not a meaningful local leader or laggard.
Recent progress is strongest in ELA and science, while math has slipped slightly: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school ELA rose 7 percentage points and science rose 9, but math fell 1 point. The state gap narrowed by 6 points in ELA and 5 in science, while the math gap widened by 2 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also rose, from the 25th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024 to the 45th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 27.6 in 2024–2025 and 60% free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 22% at the school, compared with 18% statewide.
