Summary:
Zip code 95228 is served by one elementary school, Copperopolis Elementary, a K-6 school in the Mark Twain Union Elementary District with 216 students, where about 60% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
This school shows a strong and improving trajectory overall, having moved from the 25th to the 41st percentile in statewide rankings in just one year, and it consistently outperforms its district averages in English, math, and science. However, performance varies dramatically between grade levels, with 4th graders excelling in math (56.7% proficient) while 5th and 6th graders struggle significantly in the same subject (both below 10% proficient), indicating a potential need for curriculum review or targeted support in the upper grades.
Operationally, the school maintains a better chronic absenteeism rate than both the district and state, but it has a high student-teacher ratio of nearly 28-to-1. For parents, this is a community school showing commendable progress within a challenging district context, with clear strengths in early grades and attendance but with notable academic challenges in the later elementary years that are important to understand.
