Pleasant Valley School District 62

The Pleasant Valley School District 62 operates two schools - Pleasant Valley Primary School and Pleasant Valley Intermediate School. While the Intermediate School outperforms the Primary School academically, both schools face significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates and serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

The Pleasant Valley Intermediate School stands out as the higher-performing school, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to the Primary School's 1-star rating. The Intermediate School also has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across most grade levels. However, both schools struggle with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average, which likely contributes to their academic challenges.

Despite the Intermediate School's relatively stronger performance, the schools in the Pleasant Valley School District 62 face significant obstacles. Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates over 94%. This suggests the need for additional resources, support, and targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by this population and improve student outcomes across the district.
