Summary:
The 10 schools in the 94566 zip code area of Pleasanton, California, serve students from elementary through high school, and are all part of the highly-ranked Pleasanton Unified School District. While the majority of these schools excel, with several earning top state rankings and 5-star ratings, there are notable differences in performance, with Village High School standing out as an outlier with lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism.
The standout schools in the area are Amador Valley High School, which ranks 61st out of over 2,300 California high schools, Harvest Park Middle School, ranked 60th out of nearly 2,800 state middle schools, and Walnut Grove Elementary, ranked 209th out of over 5,800 elementary schools. These top-performing schools boast excellent test scores, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates, in contrast with the challenges faced by Village High.
While the Pleasanton Unified School District as a whole is performing exceptionally well, the data reveals concerning disparities, with Village High's high chronic absenteeism rate of over 56% and lower graduation rate of 74.4% standing out as areas of concern. The racial diversity of the student populations also varies considerably across the schools, suggesting potential equity issues that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
