Summary:
The Plainsburg Union Elementary area has one K–8 school, Plainsburg Union Elementary, with 113 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 56% in ELA, 40% in math and 40% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that the school was above the state in all three subjects.
There are no school-to-school standouts because this is the only school in the list; the clearest contrasts are among its grades. Sixth grade stood out, with 79% proficient in ELA—31 points above the state—and 64% in math, 27 points above. Fifth grade was below the state in every reported subject: 36% in ELA (13 points lower), 14% in math (22 points lower) and 29% in science (7 points lower). These grade-level differences mean the school’s all-grades results do not describe a consistent experience across grades.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose from 51% to 56%, math from 33% to 40%, and science from 23% to 40%. The school moved from below to above California in math and science, while widening its ELA lead. SchoolDigger’s ranking also improved, from 3,103 of 5,869 schools (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 2,278 of 5,804 (61st percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 10% in 2025–2026, 8 points below California; the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 19.4, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. With only one school in the list, these figures cannot show how schools compare with one another.
