Summary

Plainfield Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 257 students in the Woodland Joint Unified school district, performing slightly above the state average overall despite recent fluctuations in its ranking.

The school has significant strengths, including a remarkable improvement in student attendance, with its chronic absenteeism rate now at 12.7%, which is much better than the district average and lower than many nearby schools like Freeman Elementary and T. L. Whitehead Elementary. Academically, it performs respectably in English and Math given its student demographics, often outperforming schools with similar or higher economic need, such as Gibson Elementary. However, a major area for growth is science, where proficiency is significantly below state and district averages.

Recent trends show some concerns, including a performance gap between female and male students and a decline in scores from a peak two years ago. Within the district, Plainfield sits in the middle tier, performing well below top schools like Spring Lake Elementary but above several others. Its efficient use of resources, with moderate per-student spending and a manageable class size, supports its overall stable position in the community.
