High Schools in Pleasanton

There is only one high school located in Pleasanton, Kansas - Pleasanton High School. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a relatively small student population of 170 students. While the school has a reasonably strong 89.5% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Pleasanton High School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 271-288 out of 318-332 Kansas high schools in the past 3 school years, and it has a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 47.06% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $10,683 is relatively high compared to the state average, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to drive student outcomes.

While the school's dropout rate of 1.3% is relatively low, the combination of low academic performance, socioeconomic challenges, and questions about resource allocation suggest that Pleasanton High School faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these areas could be crucial for improving the overall quality of education at the school and better supporting the needs of its students.
