Best Public Schools in Zip Code 96020


Summary:

The 96020 zip code area is home to two schools - Chester Elementary and Chester Junior/Senior High, both part of the Plumas Unified School District. While Chester Elementary serves elementary grades, Chester Junior/Senior High is the standout school, outperforming the district and state in several key metrics.

Chester Junior/Senior High has a higher statewide ranking, better 4-year graduation rate, and stronger test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy compared to the district and state averages. However, the school lags behind in math performance. Chester Elementary, on the other hand, has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 57.4%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages and may be contributing to its lower test score performance.

Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may play a role in the schools' performance and should be considered when analyzing their strengths and challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Chester Junior/Senior High is the stronger performing school in the 96020 zip code area, but there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing attendance issues at Chester Elementary and boosting math proficiency at Chester Junior/Senior High.
