Summary

Pleasantville High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Pleasantville, New Jersey, with a total enrollment of 797 students. The school is part of the Pleasantville Public School District, which is ranked 581 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pleasantville High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New Jersey high schools, with its statewide ranking ranging from 353 out of 406 schools in 2014-2015 to 422 out of 434 schools in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with just 10.9% proficient in English Language Arts, 4.1% in Algebra I, and 5.1% in Science, compared to state averages of 49.9%, 38.2%, and 31.3%, respectively. Pleasantville High School's performance on the New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA) is also concerning, with only 54.7% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 21.6% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 80.7% and 58%.

While Pleasantville High School's per-student spending of $16,528 in 2018-2019 was higher than the state average, this does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes for students. The school's performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts, such as Oakcrest High School, Ocean City High School, and Mainland Regional High School, which have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. Addressing the challenges faced by Pleasantville High School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students.
