Captain Cooper Elementary: The state doesn't publish enough data to score this school fairly.

Captain Cooper is an elementary school in Big Sur. The state doesn't publish enough data to score it fairly — so we won't. Here's what we can show.

No Scope Score available

California doesn't publicly report per-grade test results when fewer than 11 students are tested in a grade — a privacy protection for small schools. With 47 students total, this school likely falls below that threshold in most tested grades. We can't compute a Scope Score without that data.

Worth a school visit

With little published data, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.
