Pleasantville Community School District

The Pleasantville Community School District consists of three schools: Pleasantville Elementary, Pleasantville High School, and Pleasantville Middle School. Based on the available data, Pleasantville Elementary appears to be the standout school in the district, with consistently high test scores and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, outperforming the district's overall 2-star rating.

Pleasantville Elementary has 81.7% or more of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 86.7% or more proficient or better in Mathematics across grades 3-6, significantly higher than the state averages. In contrast, Pleasantville High School performs above the state average in English Language Arts but is closer to the state average in Mathematics. Spending per student also varies significantly, with the high school spending nearly three times as much per student as the middle school.

While the racial makeup of the schools is predominantly white, the free and reduced lunch rates are relatively high across all three schools, ranging from 30.7% to 35.87%, suggesting a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students. The student-teacher ratio is highest at the middle school, which may contribute to the lower test scores compared to the elementary and high school levels. Overall, the Pleasantville Community School District has a strong performing elementary school, but opportunities for improvement at the middle and high school levels, particularly in terms of test scores and resource allocation.
