Summary:
The Pleasant Hope R-VI school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Pleasant Hope High, Pleasant Hope Elementary, and Pleasant Hope Middle. While the district serves a predominantly white and low-income student population, it faces significant academic challenges, with test scores consistently below state averages.
Among the three schools, Pleasant Hope Elementary is the highest-ranked, but still only has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district's racial makeup is largely homogeneous, with Pleasant Hope High having the most diverse student population at 94.68% white, 2.48% African American, and 2.48% other races. However, the overall lack of diversity in the district may impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students.
Academically, the district struggles, with math and English Language Arts proficiency rates significantly below state averages. Science proficiency at Pleasant Hope Middle is also below state standards. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 53.19% at Pleasant Hope High to 66.83% at Pleasant Hope Middle, suggest that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
