Summary:
The city of Pleasant Plains, Illinois is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Pleasant Plains CUSD 8 district. The standout school in the district appears to be Pleasant Plains High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Illinois high schools over the past 3 years and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Farmingdale Elementary School also performs well, with strong academic results and a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Pleasant Plains Middle School has solid academic performance, though its percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients is higher than the elementary school. Across all three schools, the district spends between $11,487 and $13,849 per student, indicating an equitable allocation of resources.
One area of concern is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% across all three schools, which the district may need to address through targeted interventions. Overall, the Pleasant Plains school district appears to be performing above the state average, with its high school standing out as a top performer in Illinois.
