Summary:
The Pleasantville Community School District consists of three schools: Pleasantville Elementary, Pleasantville High School, and Pleasantville Middle School. The data reveals that Pleasantville Elementary is the standout school in the district, consistently ranking higher than the other schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and impressive test scores, with the majority of grades performing above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
While Pleasantville High School and Pleasantville Middle School have more mixed test scores, with some grades performing above the state average and others below, the district as a whole faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, which may be impacting student performance. Additionally, the significant variation in test scores between different grade levels and subjects within each school suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements.
The financial data reveals that Pleasantville High School has the highest spending per student at $19,905, followed by Pleasantville Elementary at $13,230 and Pleasantville Middle School at $6,497. The higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at Pleasantville Middle School compared to the other schools may indicate a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students at that level.
