Pleasant Hill Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic achievement. In 2023-2024, 46.94% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.48% for the district and 38.6% for the state. In Math, 61.22% of Pleasant Hill students were proficient or better, compared to 51.76% for the district and 52.4% for the state. The school's 5th-grade students also outperformed the district and state in Social Studies. However, the nearby Walnut Elementary School, which is part of the South Montgomery Community School Corporation, outperforms Pleasant Hill in several academic areas despite having a similar student population.

Pleasant Hill Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.22%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average. The school also has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 32.65%, suggesting it serves a more affluent student population. While Pleasant Hill's student-teacher ratio of 16.3 is higher than the surrounding schools, this may indicate efficient use of teaching resources. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.9% in 2020-2021 to 12.0% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that may require further attention and intervention.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
