Golden Plains Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which is higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 4th-grade students performing better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA), but the school lagging behind the state in most other subject areas and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, 43.33% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.47%, and only 23.33% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.73%.
The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.27%, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite the high per-student spending of $18,001, the school's academic performance still lags behind the state averages. The small school size, with only 74 students, may present both advantages and challenges, and the school's ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger have declined over the past few years, suggesting ongoing challenges in improving student outcomes.
