Summary:
The 97455 zip code in Oregon is home to two schools: Pleasant Hill High School and Pleasant Hill Elementary School, both part of the Pleasant Hill School District 1. While the elementary school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the high school is ranked 199 out of 258 Oregon high schools and has a 1-star rating, indicating significant room for improvement in academic performance.
The data shows a mix of academic performance across grade levels and subject areas. Pleasant Hill High School has relatively low proficiency rates in OSAS tests, with the highest being 41.3% in 7th grade English Language Arts and 36.1% in 7th grade Mathematics. The school's science proficiency rates are also low, at 20% for 11th grade and 20.3% for 8th grade. In contrast, Pleasant Hill Elementary School has a more varied performance, with some grades performing above the state average (e.g., 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics) and others performing below (e.g., 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts).
Both schools have a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools and could require additional support and resources to address. Additionally, the higher-than-average spending per student at both schools does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes, suggesting a need for the district to examine the effectiveness of its resource allocation and ensure that funding is being directed towards evidence-based strategies and interventions that can drive student achievement.
