Across all schools, chronic absenteeism is a major concern, with rates well above the state average.
C. Roy Carmichael Elementary ranks in the top half of California elementary schools and has English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates above the Plumas Unified district and state averages. However, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 83.3%. In contrast, Portola Junior/Senior High has a strong 4-year graduation rate of 93.8% and a lower dropout rate than the district and state, but its academic performance, particularly in Math, lags behind.
The data reveals a significant gap in performance between the elementary school and the high schools, with Beckwourth (Jim) High struggling the most academically. This contrast, coupled with the high rates of chronic absenteeism across all schools, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these schools, which serve economically disadvantaged communities.
