Summary:
The Mark Twain Union Elementary district in California includes three public schools serving grades K-8, with a total enrollment of 732 students across two elementary schools and one very small middle school.
Among these schools, Copperopolis Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, with the best test scores in math and science and the lowest rate of chronic student absenteeism. In contrast, Mark Twain Elementary, the district's largest school, has significantly lower academic proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics, though it has shown recent improvement. The third school, Learners Empowered Academic Progress (LEAP), is exceptionally small with only 9 students, has the highest chronic absenteeism, and does not have publicly reported test score data due to its size.
Overall, the district's academic performance trails behind state averages, but both elementary schools have shown notable improvement in their statewide rankings over the past year. Key areas for attention include a district-wide chronic absenteeism rate that exceeds the state average and a concerning drop in mathematics performance in 5th grade observed at both elementary schools. The wide variation in per-student spending and student demographics across the three schools is also a notable feature of the district.
