Summary:

The Pleasant Hope R-VI school district in Missouri has one middle school, Pleasant Hope Middle, which serves grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 176 students.

The school's academic performance is mixed, with lower-than-average proficiency rates in mathematics, particularly in the upper grades, but relatively stronger performance in English Language Arts, especially in the 5th grade.
