Cope Middle

Q: Is Cope Middle a good middle school?

Cope Middle is in the 37th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. Its Scope Score is 31 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2025, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Cope Middle was near California in English and math: 48% and 32% met or exceeded the standard in grades 6–8, against 49% and 36% statewide. The Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 6-to-8 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: What are Cope Middle's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 48% of students tested in grades 6–8 met or exceeded the English standard and 32% the math standard; 20% and 18% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 49% and 36% met or exceeded, 19% and 20% exceeded. 1,128 students were tested in English and 1,117 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

Q: How does Cope Middle rank in California?

Cope Middle is in the 37th percentile of 2,177 California comprehensive middle schools (Developing, 2025). Cope Middle ranks #1,364 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), aggregate cohort comparison (2023 G6 → 2025 G8), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.

Q: Is Cope Middle getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Cope Middle's grade 6 results in 2023 with its grade 8 results in 2025, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 23rd percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

Q: What do attendance and suspension records show for Cope Middle?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 24.0% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 298 chronically absent of 1,244 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 7.4%; 95 unduplicated suspended students of 1,280 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 23.9%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 7.3%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

Q: How does Cope Middle compare to other schools in Redlands?

Cope Middle is in the 37th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 1,191 students. Use the schools in Redlands page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.

Q: What high school does Cope Middle feed into?

By attendance boundary, Cope Middle is zoned to Redlands Senior High. Redlands Senior High has a Scope Score of 69 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Redlands Unified, and across California. None is green: no group that is behind statewide does 10 or more points better here than the same group statewide.

No published rate here for Filipino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander and military-family students and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

Asian students did worse than the same group statewide. Students of two or more races and students with disabilities did worse than the same groups statewide in math.

Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.

Is Cope Middle getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Cope Middle's grade 6 results in 2023 with its grade 8 results in 2025, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 23rd percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

What do attendance and suspension records show for Cope Middle?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 24.0% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 298 chronically absent of 1,244 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 7.4%; 95 unduplicated suspended students of 1,280 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 23.9%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 7.3%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

How does Cope Middle compare to other schools in Redlands?

Cope Middle is in the 37th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 1,191 students. Use the schools in Redlands page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Cope Middle?

What high school does Cope Middle feed into?

By attendance boundary, Cope Middle is zoned to Redlands Senior High. Redlands Senior High has a Scope Score of 69 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California middle school records, the median ELA estimate is −1 and the middle half fall between −8 and +6 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes.

ShowHide how the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.
