Plavan is now a California Distinguished School!

Plavan Elementary: A 2023 California Distinguished School!!!

I am thrilled to announce that Plavan Elementary School has been recognized as a California Distinguished School for 2023!

The California Distinguished Schools program recognizes schools for their outstanding work around two categories: 1) Exceptional student performance and 2) Closing the achievement gap.

Of the eligible schools, the ones that are recognized have exhibited excellent performance on all state indicators as specified on the California School Dashboard. The indicators include exceptional state assessment results, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates, and socioeconomic and subgroup data that show progress in reducing the achievement gap.

Plavan Elementary was one of 38 Orange County schools honored this year. This tremendous recognition is the result of hard work, dedication, and collaborative diligence shown by our staff, school leaders, and our families to educate the “whole” child on our campus.

Congratulations to our staff, students, and families for achieving this prestigious honor!
