Summary

Pleasant Hill High School is a small public high school in Pleasant Hill, Illinois, serving grades 9–12 and reporting 99 students; the supplied comparison includes one nearby school, Pittsfield High School. Graduation was 79% in 2025–2026, below the state and Pittsfield, both at 90%. The biggest academic concern is math: in 2024–2025, 17% were proficient, compared with 39% statewide and 36% at Pittsfield.

Science is a relative strength, while ELA is below both comparison results. In 2025–2026, science proficiency was 61% at Pleasant Hill, 48% statewide, and 55% at Pittsfield; ELA was 48%, compared with 50% statewide and 58% at Pittsfield. Where district results are reported, they match the school’s. Chronic absenteeism was 22%, slightly below the state’s 24% and lower than Pittsfield’s 31%. The 2025–2026 math and grades 9–10 PreACT Secure scores are suppressed, so current comparisons for those results are unavailable.

ELA improved from 42% proficient in 2024–2025 to 48% in 2025–2026, narrowing its gap with the state from 10 points to 2. SchoolDigger ranks Pleasant Hill at the 71st percentile, 177th of 620 schools, with four stars; Pittsfield is at the 37th percentile, 389th of 620, with two stars. Pleasant Hill’s percentile rose from 35 to 71 in one year, though it has varied widely over time. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for White Students—a measure of how well the school serves this group—was 13 in 2024–2025 and 51 in 2025–2026, below the overall percentiles of 35 and 71.
