Summary

Pleasure Ridge Park High is a public high school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 1,615 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Pleasure Ridge Park High consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments and the ACT well below the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students. In contrast, nearby magnet schools like duPont Manual High and Louisville Male High consistently rank in the top 5% and top 25% of Kentucky high schools, respectively.

Another significant challenge for Pleasure Ridge Park High is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.0% to 56.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average of around 15%. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, such as socioeconomic challenges or lack of student engagement, could be a key focus area for school improvement efforts.
