Pleasant Street Elementary School

Summary:

Pleasant Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mount Vernon, Ohio, serving 347 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Mount Vernon City School District.

While the school performs well for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools, it struggles in other areas. Pleasant Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, currently at 817 out of 1,577 schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.1% in 2019-2020 to 19.8% in the current school year, well above the state average.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Mount Vernon City School District, Pleasant Street Elementary lags behind in several key metrics. For example, Wiggin Street Elementary and East Elementary School consistently outperform Pleasant Street in statewide rankings, test scores, and student group performance. Addressing the school's challenges, including the rising chronic absenteeism and inconsistent academic performance across student subgroups, should be a priority for the school and district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
