Summary:
The city of Pleasant Hill, Tennessee has only one school, Pleasant Hill Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 613 students. The school is part of the Cumberland County School District, which is ranked 69 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Pleasant Hill Elementary has consistently underperformed, ranking between 577 and 652 out of 1,000-1,020 Tennessee elementary schools over the past 3 years and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Pleasant Hill Elementary's proficiency rates on the TNReady assessments have been below the state and county averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 32.9% compared to the state average of 39.7% and the county average of 42.1%. The school's performance has been consistently below the state and county averages over the past two school years, indicating a need for improvement in academic outcomes.
Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly White (92.66%), with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may be an area to explore further. The school's per-student spending of $9,667 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.8 to 1 suggest potential resource allocation challenges that could be impacting academic performance. Overall, the data highlights the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to Pleasant Hill Elementary's consistently low academic performance and opportunities to address resource allocation and demographic diversity within the school.
