Pleasant Hill High School

Summary:

Pleasant Hill High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Pleasant Hill, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 538 students. The school is part of the Pleasant Hill School District 1, which is ranked 79 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data suggests that Pleasant Hill High School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, particularly in core academic areas. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores, with only 12.7% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 9.7% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 40.7% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank significantly below their peers at nearby schools like South Eugene High School.

Despite having higher per-student spending ($16,246 in 2021-2022) than the state average, Pleasant Hill High School's academic outcomes do not reflect this level of investment. In contrast, some nearby charter schools, such as Willamette Leadership Academy and Academy of Arts and Academics, have lower per-student spending but better academic performance. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.5 in the current school year is also higher than some of the nearby schools, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

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.
