Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.02% to 96.7%, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Pleasant City Elementary to nearby schools, several interesting patterns emerge.
