Plummer Elementary

Nestled in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of North Hills, Plummer Elementary is a community-focused school that tends to draw families rooted in the area's tight-knit, working-class character. The school shows relative strength in science compared to its English and math scores, which may appeal to parents looking for hands-on learning opportunities even within a school still working to build academic momentum. North Hills itself is a diverse, unpretentious corner of the Valley where families tend to put down roots for the long haul, and Plummer reflects that grounded, neighborhood-school feel.
