Summary:
ZIP code 66075 has two schools: Pleasanton Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 6, and Pleasanton High, serving grades 7–12; there is no separate middle school. In 2025–26, Elementary scored 36% in ELA, 45% in math and 30% in science, while High scored 21%, 19% and 23%. Elementary was ahead by 16 points in ELA, 26 in math and 7 in science. Elementary math was the only all-grade result above the state: 45% versus 41%. The clearest finding is that the two schools have notably different results, with the widest gap in math.
Pleasanton Elementary stands out overall, while Pleasanton High has the lower all-grade scores in each subject and is especially far below the state in math: 19% versus 41%, a 22-point gap. SchoolDigger rates Elementary at the 31st percentile with 2 stars, and High at the 28th percentile with 1 star. Grade-level results show exceptions: Elementary math was above the state in grades 3–5, by 5, 1 and 5 points, respectively, and its grade 6 ELA was 2 points above. High’s 11th-grade science was 2 points above the state. Its sharpest reported weakness was 8th-grade math, at 9% versus 40% statewide, 31 points lower.
Recent changes differ between the schools. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Elementary’s ELA rose 1 point, math fell 1 and science fell 7; High rose 4 points in ELA, 6 in math and 6 in science. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for High rose from 9th in 2023–24 to 28th in 2025–26; Elementary moved from 28th to 37th, then to 31st. Attendance is a positive measure at both schools: chronic absenteeism was 3% at Elementary and 7% at High, compared with 18% statewide. Elementary’s student–teacher ratio was higher (16.5 versus 11.4), as was its free/reduced-lunch rate (66% versus 58%); these are observations, not explanations for the score differences. Because the schools serve different grade spans and there are only two, their results do not establish what causes the differences.
