Summary

Pleasant Run Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 820 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Northwest Local School District, which is ranked 533 out of 828 districts in the state.

While Pleasant Run Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools over the past five years, it stands out in its performance for certain student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates for African American and Hispanic students are in the top 25% and top 40% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively, despite the school's overall academic performance being below the state and district averages. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.0% to 36.5% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Taylor Elementary and other schools in the Fairfield City, Winton Woods City, Mt.

However, the school's performance for certain subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is often better than the nearby schools, suggesting the school may be providing more effective support for these populations.
