Summary

Pleasant Hill Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Crawfordsville, IN with 287 students, part of North Montgomery Com School Corp. For 2025–2026 it ranked 122nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — 88th percentile, 4 stars — putting it in roughly the top 12% of the state. The school's trajectory is strong: its statewide percentile climbed from 55 in 2018–2019 to 88 in 2025–2026, and it jumped from 240th of 1,005 the prior year. That pattern looks like real, sustained improvement rather than a one-year blip.

Reading and math are Pleasant Hill's clearest strengths and are consistent across grade levels. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 66.39% (district: 52.88%; roughly 41–42% statewide), and math was 71.31% (district: 58.13%). Math ranged from 62.86% in 4th grade to 75% in 3rd. Fifth-grade social studies also rebounded, from 41.82% to 62.79%, now above the district (57.36%) and state (47.2%). Science is the outlier weakness: 45.71%, below the district's 51.8% and a sharp drop from 68.18% the prior year. Since science is tested in 4th grade, cohort changes may play a role, but it is the one subject where Pleasant Hill trails.

Locally, only Sugar Creek Elementary School (5 stars, 95th percentile) ranks higher, and Pleasant Hill essentially matched it in ELA and social studies. Pleasant Hill is clearly ahead of Lester B Sommer Elementary School in rank, ELA, math, and social studies. Absenteeism is a strength at 8.7%, below the district (12.2%) and state (16.7%). About 37.28% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $11,146 with a 14.7 student–teacher ratio — solid results without unusually high spending or very small classes.
