Summary

Plainfield Elementary serves 257 students in grades K–6 in Woodland, within the Woodland Joint Unified area. Its latest SchoolDigger rating is 3 stars at the 54th percentile, but its academic results show a clear concern: math proficiency has declined every reported year, from 50% in 2022–23 to 34% in 2025–26, and is now below the state rate.

Among 11 nearby schools, Plainfield performs especially well in science and ranks near the top in all three tested subjects: third in ELA and science, and second in math. Its 2025–26 proficiency was 47% in ELA, 34% in math, and 43% in science—about 10, 8, and 12 percentage points above nearby-school averages, respectively. Compared with the state, however, Plainfield was 3 points lower in ELA and 5 points lower in math, while science was 7 points higher. It was above district results in all three subjects, by 5 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 14 in science. Science is its standout against the state; math is its weakest comparison.

Recent trends add context: science rebounded from 15% in 2024–25 to 43% in 2025–26, while ELA has fluctuated and ended at 47%, 3 points below the state. SchoolDigger places Plainfield third by percentile among nearby schools, behind Spring Lake and Zamora, but its percentile has eased from 70 in 2022–23 to 54. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.2, the second-lowest locally, and 57% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the nearby-school average of 74%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 33rd percentile in 2025–26, 21 points below Plainfield overall; its Hispanic-student standing fell 14 points, from the 57th to the 43rd percentile between 2023–24 and 2025–26. These rankings describe how effectively the school serves each group compared with that group at other schools statewide.
