School Overview

Planada is a small, tight-knit agricultural community in the San Joaquin Valley, and Planada Elementary reflects that close community feel — this is a school where staff tend to know families by name. Sitting around the middle of the state rankings, the school serves a predominantly Latino, working-class community and is working to build stronger academic outcomes, particularly in English and math. Families who value a small-town environment with a strong sense of belonging, and who are willing to be active partners in their child's education, will find a welcoming place here.
