Plumas Unified

Summary:

The Plumas Unified school district in California consists of 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 5 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The schools are spread across different cities within the district, such as Portola, Quincy, Chester, and Greenville.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as potential high-performers. Chester Junior/Senior High has the highest 11th grade English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates, significantly exceeding the district and state averages. Quincy Junior/Senior High has the highest 4-year graduation rate and the lowest dropout rate among the high schools. Additionally, C. Roy Carmichael Elementary has the highest 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates in the district.

However, the district as a whole faces some significant challenges. Chronic absenteeism rates are alarmingly high, with several schools exceeding 50% and one school at 100%. Additionally, the district-wide academic performance in English Language Arts and Math proficiency lags behind the state averages. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage, may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes observed in some schools. These insights highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities within the Plumas Unified school district.
