Summary

Las Plumas High is a public high school serving about 1,265 students in grades 9-12 in Oroville, California, as part of the Oroville Union High district, which ranks in the lower third of California districts.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below state averages, and these scores have declined notably over the past few years. However, it maintains a strong graduation rate of 90.6%, which exceeds the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Gridley High and Durham High show much higher academic proficiency, while its sister school, Oroville High, has similar struggles, particularly in math. The school serves a high-need population, with about 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Key areas for improvement include addressing high chronic absenteeism and the recent sharp declines in test scores. While per-student spending has increased significantly, academic performance has not improved, raising questions about resource use. Performance for different student groups, such as English Learners and students in special education, has been highly inconsistent from year to year. Despite these academic hurdles, the school successfully graduates most of its students, performing better than local continuation schools like Prospect High or Valley Oak Continuation High.
