Pleasanton High consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.8% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 37.93%. The school's performance is particularly concerning in 7th-grade ELA and Mathematics, where the proficiency rates were 0% and 5%, respectively, in the same year. In comparison, the nearby Prairie View High School and Jayhawk-Linn High School generally perform better than Pleasanton High in academic assessments.

Pleasanton High has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.8% to 19.7% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 85.2% to 96.9% over the past few years, and its dropout rate has varied from 0.6% to 1.7% during the same period. While these metrics are not significantly different from the nearby schools, Pleasanton High's performance is still below the state's average. However, the school's performance for economically disadvantaged students is better than its overall performance, suggesting that there may be opportunities to improve outcomes for the broader student population.
