Pleasant High School

Summary:

Pleasant High School is a public high school located in Marion, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 326 students. The school is part of the Pleasant Local District, which is ranked 244 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pleasant High School consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in subjects like American History, Biology, and English II, suggesting the school is providing a strong academic foundation for its students. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.6% to 98.9% over the past five years, well above the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has reached a high of 23% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and could be an area of concern.

Interestingly, the nearby Tri-Rivers Career Center has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (39.3%) compared to Pleasant High School (23.01%), suggesting that Pleasant High School may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its stronger academic performance. Additionally, while the school's performance for gifted and talented students is somewhat mixed, with a high ranking in 2021-2022 but a lower ranking in 2022-2023, the school's overall performance for white students and low socioeconomic status students is above the state average, indicating the school is effectively serving these populations.

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.
