Summary:
In the 92373 zip code of Redlands, California, there is one public middle school, Cope Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 within the Redlands Unified district.
Cope Middle serves a large student population of over 1,100, with a significant majority qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school shows a mix of performance: its English Language Arts scores are close to the state average, and it performs slightly better than both the district and state in science. However, mathematics proficiency is a notable area for improvement, as it falls below average for both the district and California. A concerning trend is that English scores tend to decline from 6th to 8th grade.
Other important factors for parents to consider include a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than average, which can impact learning, and a recent decline in the school's statewide ranking. The school's per-student spending is substantial, but outcomes suggest a need to examine how effectively these resources address core academic challenges, particularly in math and supporting students through their middle school years.
