Summary

Carlin C. Coppin Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 442 students in the Western Placer Unified district in Lincoln, CA, performing above state averages in math and English but facing a significant challenge with student attendance.

The school's most pressing issue is its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8%, which is the highest among nearby schools—nearly five times higher than Twelve Bridges Elementary and above both district and state averages. This likely impacts overall academic results, as the school's math and English proficiency, while solid, generally lags behind higher-performing neighbors like Quarry Trail Elementary and Scott M. Leaman. Interestingly, performance varies greatly by grade, with a notable drop in 4th grade scores before a partial recovery in 5th.

Despite these challenges, Carlin C. Coppin shows notable strengths, particularly in supporting students from low-income families and Hispanic students, where its effectiveness ranks in the 71st to 77th percentiles. The school spends more per student than some higher-achieving peers, suggesting resources are available to build on these successes. For parents, the key takeaway is a school with clear potential and specific areas for growth, especially regarding consistent attendance, which could unlock further academic achievement for all students.
