Best Public Schools in Pleasanton, NE

Summary:

The city of Pleasanton, Nebraska is home to two schools - Pleasanton Elementary School and Pleasanton High School, both part of the Pleasanton Public Schools district. While the elementary school has seen some improvements in its statewide ranking, the high school has demonstrated stronger performance on ACT assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

While Pleasanton Elementary School and Pleasanton High School have their respective strengths, the district as a whole is ranked 134 out of 182 in Nebraska and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of policies, resources, and support to enhance educational outcomes for all students in the Pleasanton community.
