Summary:

Pleasanton Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 7.1% to 21.5%, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of many nearby schools. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages and the scores of nearby higher-performing schools, such as Meadowlark Elementary School, which had 88.89% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to Pleasanton's 38%. Additionally, Pleasanton Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.57% to 32.14% in recent years, higher than the rates of many nearby schools.

The school's performance has declined over the years, with lower test scores and a decreasing SchoolDigger ranking, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The low ranking and 1-star rating of the Pleasanton Public Schools district also indicate that the district as a whole may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, which could have implications for the resources and support available to Pleasanton Elementary School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
