Plaza Elementary operates 1 public schools serving 199 students, placing it among the smaller districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 215 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Glenn County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,879 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 25.0% local, 61.1% state, and 13.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $69,237 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
and 4.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.2% White, 37.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Plaza Elementary-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Plaza Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 4.2% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
