Summary

Pleasantville Elementary School is a K–4 school of 348 students at 300 W. Columbus Street in the small village of Pleasantville, Ohio, part of the Fairfield Union Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 753rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 52nd percentile, or 3 stars — a middle-of-the-pack standing that sits slightly below its own district (290th of 773 districts, 62nd percentile). The important context is direction: three years ago the school was in the 71st percentile with 4 stars, and it has slipped roughly 19 percentile points since.

Test results at Pleasantville Elementary School split cleanly by grade. It beat its district in both 3rd-grade subjects — math at 72.9% and ELA at 69.4%, against the district's 69.7% and 66.7% — and both are above state averages. In 4th grade it trails the district in both: math 73.8% vs. 78.8%, and ELA 50.8% vs. 64.2%. Fourth-grade ELA is the clear weak spot, falling from 79.0% (2023–24) to 65.8% to 50.8%, about 11 points below the state and the lowest score anywhere in the school's reported data. Third-grade math, by contrast, is the second-best among ten comparable nearby schools, behind only Thornville Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism is a genuine bright spot: 12.5% in 2025–26, down 7.1 points in four years and consistently below the district's 15.1%. Among nearby schools, only Liberty Union Elementary School (7.3%) and Bloom Carroll Intermediate School (9.0%) did better. Low-income students are the school's strongest subgroup, ranking in the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, even as economic need has risen sharply (free/reduced lunch 36.18% in 2022–23 to 47.81% in 2023–24). Spending is lean at $8,345 per student, yet Bloom Carroll Intermediate spends nearly the same ($8,368) and ranks at the 67th percentile. Classes average 19.8 students, on the high side for the area.
