Summary

Plummer Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 600 students in North Hills, California, as part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, where it faces significant academic challenges with proficiency rates below state averages in core subjects.

The school's overall academic performance is lower than several nearby schools, including Alta California Elementary and the notably higher-performing Panorama City Elementary, despite similar student demographics. However, Plummer has a clear and significant strength: its program for Special Education students ranks in the top quartile statewide, a standout achievement compared to its peers. The school also spends more per student than the district average and has made recent progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, though its rate remains higher than schools like Rosa Parks Learning Center.

Performance varies widely by grade, with sixth graders showing stronger English skills but weaker math results. While the school's statewide ranking has been inconsistent over the years, recent improvements for English Language Learners and a science proficiency rate that exceeds the district average are positive signs. The higher spending and the proven success with certain student groups suggest there is potential for broader academic growth by learning from effective strategies used within its own programs and at neighboring schools.
