Summary:
The 65725 zip code area is home to three schools - Pleasant Hope High, Pleasant Hope Elementary, and Pleasant Hope Middle - all part of the Pleasant Hope R-VI district. While the elementary and middle schools show some promising performance, the high school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom third of Missouri high schools.
Pleasant Hope Elementary stands out, ranking 386 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and outperforming the state average in 3rd and 4th-grade math and ELA proficiency. Pleasant Hope Middle also performs well, ranking 242 out of 451 Missouri middle schools and exceeding the state average in 5th-grade science. However, Pleasant Hope High has significantly lower proficiency rates than the state average in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II.
A common challenge across all three schools is high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.4% to 22.4%. Additionally, the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance issues observed. The district may need to explore targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges and improve student success across all grade levels.
