Summary:

The Pleasantville Community School District in Iowa has one middle school, Pleasantville Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some strong performance metrics, such as high proficiency rates in mathematics, it also faces challenges, including lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate.

Pleasantville Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 122nd out of 334 Iowa middle schools in 2022-2023 to 239th out of 344 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are below the state averages, while its mathematics proficiency rates are above the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (39.68%), which is a proxy for socioeconomic status, and its per-student spending of $6,497 for the 2018-2019 school year is below the state average.

These findings suggest that while Pleasantville Middle School has some areas of strength, it also faces significant challenges that may be impacting its overall performance and ranking within the state. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and help the school improve its educational outcomes for the students it serves.
