Pleasant Hill Elementary

Summary:

Pleasant Hill Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Pleasant Hill, Tennessee, with a student population of 613. The school is part of the Cumberland County School District, which is ranked 69 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Despite its small size, Pleasant Hill Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state and county averages, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools over the past 8 years and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Math and ELA are significantly lower than the state, particularly in 6th-8th grades. While the school performs better with its low-income students, it struggles to support its White student population, who rank in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools in these subjects.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Stone Elementary, Pleasant Hill Elementary generally underperforms, especially in Math and ELA. However, the school does outperform some of its counterparts in certain grade levels and subject areas, suggesting potential opportunities for collaboration and learning. With a declining statewide ranking and inconsistent performance across grade levels, Pleasant Hill Elementary may need to re-evaluate its strategies and practices to better support its students and improve academic outcomes.

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.
