Summary

Plymouth Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 547 students in the Monrovia Unified district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a student body where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's test scores are impressive, consistently beating both district and state averages, with mathematics being a particular strength. What's most notable is how Plymouth Elementary performs compared to other local schools with similar student demographics. For instance, it significantly outperforms Monroe Elementary in the same district and Cherrylee Elementary, which serve students with similar economic needs. Plymouth also maintains a much lower rate of chronic student absences than many neighbors, showing strong student engagement.

Plymouth Elementary has shown remarkable, steady improvement over the last decade, rising to rank in the 81st percentile statewide. It achieves these results cost-effectively, spending less per student than several nearby schools with lower performance. While high-performing schools like Camino Grove Elementary and Longley Way Elementary rank higher, they serve more affluent populations, making Plymouth's achievements with its student body especially commendable.
