Summary

Quincy Junior/Senior High is a public school serving about 310 students in grades 7-12 in the rural community of Quincy, California, as part of the Plumas Unified school district.

The school is navigating significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics where only about 12% of students are proficient, which is far below state averages. While English scores are closer to the district average, the school's overall state ranking has fallen considerably in recent years. On a positive note, the school has made impressive progress in improving student attendance, dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism, and maintains a graduation rate above the district average. It also benefits from a lower student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than many California schools.

An interesting comparison can be made with the nearby Plumas County Community school, which has a tiny enrollment, extremely high absenteeism, and much higher per-student costs, highlighting that Quincy Junior/Senior High serves as the district's mainstream option. The data suggests the school has resources available, making the focus on improving academic outcomes, especially in math, the most urgent priority for future success.
