Plainview Elementary is part of the Chesterfield 01 school district, which is ranked 52 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Plainview Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with over 92% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 36% to 76.2% across different grade levels, and proficiency rates in Mathematics ranging from 32% to 52.4%. In Science, Plainview's proficiency rates were 40.9% for 4th grade and 41.7% for 6th grade. These scores are generally lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, 100% of Plainview Elementary's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high poverty rate among the student population.
Despite having a higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,685 and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 16.1, Plainview Elementary's academic performance suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices and resource allocation to better support its students, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science. The school's lack of diversity may also be a concern, as it may limit the educational experience and preparation for an increasingly diverse world.
