Pleasant View Elementary

Summary:

Pleasant View Elementary is a public elementary school located in Porterville, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 413 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a current statewide ranking of 5634 out of 5862 schools and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pleasant View Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels, with only 16.27% of students proficient or better in ELA End-of-Course, compared to the state average of 47.04%. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.8% in 2018-2019 to 15.6% in 2022-2023. Additionally, 87.17% of students at Pleasant View Elementary qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

In comparison, nearby schools such as West Putnam Elementary, Westfield Elementary, and Hope Elementary generally perform significantly better than Pleasant View Elementary across all academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the unique challenges faced by Pleasant View Elementary, including its high poverty levels and student-teacher ratio, may be contributing to the school's persistent academic struggles.

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.
