Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in Pleasanton, Kansas - Pleasanton Elementary. The school serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Pleasanton school district.
Based on the available data, Pleasanton Elementary has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 412 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 470 out of 653 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 to 1 star out of 5 in 2023-2024. Pleasanton Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages for Kansas.
The school faces some significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.22% in 2023-2024) and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate (19.5% in 2024-2025). While Pleasanton Elementary's per-student spending ($12,467 in 2018-2019) and student-teacher ratio (12.9 in 2023-2024) suggest that the school is allocating resources at a reasonable level, these efforts do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
