Pleasant Lane's success extends beyond overall academic achievement, as the school also demonstrates high performance across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, and white students, often ranking in the top 20% of Illinois schools in these categories. The school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is especially noteworthy, ranking in the top 5% of Illinois schools in this category.
