Summary

Quincy Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 342 students in Quincy, CA, as part of the Plumas Unified school district, which faces broader challenges across the county.

Academically, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade but shows signs of recent stabilization. While its English and math scores are generally below the state average, science is a notable strength, outperforming both the district and state. Performance varies significantly by grade, with some grades doing much better than others. The school has made impressive progress reducing chronic student absenteeism, which was very high after the pandemic, though it remains an area for continued focus.

Compared to the smaller Greenville Elementary in the same district, Quincy has a larger student body and a higher student-teacher ratio. Quincy performs better in science, while Greenville has a slight edge in English. Both schools, along with Portola Opportunity, operate within a district context where resources and outcomes are often below state averages, highlighting shared systemic factors.
