Summary:
The 40258 area has six schools serving pre-K through grade 12: four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, with 4,327 students combined. The latest proficiency results are from 2025–2026, and the main pattern is that local scores generally trail state results, especially in the older grades. The most important finding for families is the breadth of those gaps: at Conway Middle, reported gaps range from 29 to 38 points below the state, while at Pleasure Ridge Park High, they range from 25 to 37 points.
Among elementary schools, Eisenhower Elementary is the strongest overall: it leads in five of ten shared grade-and-subject comparisons and has the top reported grade 4 science score, 44%. Greenwood Elementary is weakest most often, ranking lowest in six of those ten comparisons. The differences can be substantial: Eisenhower’s grade 4 math score is 43%, matching the state, while Greenwood’s 15% is 28 points below it; in grade 5 reading, Eisenhower has 41% proficiency and Greenwood 16%. Shacklette Elementary leads grade 5 writing at 31%, though the state result is 35%. At Conway, grade 7 math is 9% proficient versus 39% statewide; at Pleasure Ridge Park High, grade 10 reading is 18% versus 49% statewide.
Recent changes are mixed, with Shacklette the clearest elementary bright spot: its matched scores rose an average of 14 points, while the area-wide elementary increase averaged 3 points and was largely driven by Shacklette. Sanders Elementary averaged a 4-point decline across its matched results. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide percentiles were 28 for Eisenhower, 12 for Shacklette, 4 each for Greenwood and Sanders, 3 for Pleasure Ridge Park High and 1 for Conway Middle. As context, all six report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: 61% at Eisenhower, 76% at Shacklette and 78% at Sanders, among the figures provided; these are observations, not explanations of results. Pleasure Ridge Park High also combines a 93% graduation rate with 56% chronic absenteeism, compared with 94% graduation and 24% chronic absenteeism statewide.
