Summary

Pleasant Ridge Middle is a public middle school located in Easton, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 164 students. The school is part of the highly-ranked Easton school district, which is ranked 27th out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pleasant Ridge Middle has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Kansas middle schools in recent years, with strong performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. The school excels in serving special education and disabled students, ranking among the top middle schools in the state for these subgroups. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, which is an area of concern that needs to be addressed.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Pleasant Ridge Middle generally outperforms schools in the Basehor-Linwood and Piper-Kansas City districts, but lags behind the high-performing Patton Junior High in the Fort Leavenworth district. The school should focus on improving chronic absenteeism and addressing any performance gaps between student subgroups to ensure continued academic success and equitable outcomes for all students.
