Summary

Pleasant Hill Academy is an elementary school located in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades PK-7 with a total enrollment of 412 students. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite consistent low performance, Pleasant Hill Academy faces significant challenges in terms of student attendance, academic achievement, and serving its diverse student population. The school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.5% to 57.8% in recent years, and its students perform well below the district and state averages on Ohio state assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 38.7% for the district and 63.4% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools for female, male, African American, special education, and low socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Winton Hills Academy, Mt. Airy School, and College Hill Fundamental Academy, also perform poorly compared to state averages, but generally outperform Pleasant Hill Academy across various metrics. This suggests that the challenges faced by the school are not unique, but rather indicative of broader systemic issues within the Cincinnati Public Schools district.
