Summary

Pleasant Hill Elementary School in Kissimmee, FL, is a public school serving 753 students in grades PK-5 within the Osceola School District, where 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has faced challenges with overall state rankings and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.7%, it stands out for its remarkable stability compared to nearby schools and its strong performance in upper elementary grades.

One of the most interesting findings is Pleasant Hill's "inverted" performance pattern. Unlike many neighboring schools where proficiency drops from 3rd to 5th grade, Pleasant Hill's students actually improve. In the 2025-2026 school year, 5th graders scored 53% proficient in Math—well above the district average of 49% and significantly higher than nearby schools like Mill Creek Elementary School (30%) and Knights Point K-8 (44%). Similarly, 5th grade Science proficiency at 49% ties for the highest among immediate peers, nearly double that of Highlands Elementary School (25%). This suggests the school has particularly effective upper-grade instruction or intervention programs.

Pleasant Hill also demonstrates efficient use of resources, spending $11,786 per student—less than lower-performing nearby schools like Central Avenue Elementary School ($13,351) and Highlands Elementary ($12,962)—yet achieving a higher state ranking. For context, while Renaissance Charter School At Tapestry has a slightly higher overall rank, its 5th grade Math proficiency is just 16% compared to Pleasant Hill's 53%. Given the high poverty rate and absenteeism challenges, Pleasant Hill appears to provide significant "value-add," helping students overcome socioeconomic barriers to show real academic growth from 3rd to 5th grade.

My experience with this school was extremely distasteful. Teachers put their hands on children (pulling hair, slapping etc.) & the administrators do nothing about it, lack of proper supervision throughout various areas resulting in children being bullied and injured, targeting children, and the guidance counselor is a joke!
