While Pleasant View Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.4% to 30.6%, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 25.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in these subjects, compared to the district's 35% and 38.6% and the state's 41.4% and 41.8%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.15% to 62.5%, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools in the district, such as Truman Elementary, Pleasant View Elementary appears to be underperforming. Truman Elementary, located just 2.59 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and ELA. Several other nearby schools, like Weaver Elementary, Weller Elementary, Bowerman Elementary, and Boyd Elementary, also serve a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating that the challenges faced by Pleasant View Elementary may be more widespread in the district.
