High chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% across the district, and high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, from 70.97% at Leeds Avenue Elementary to 80.45% at Pleasantville Middle School, suggest that the district serves a predominantly low-income population and faces additional barriers to student success. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for the Pleasantville Public School District to improve outcomes for its students.
