Summary

Pleasant Run Elementary School is a K–5 school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 759 students as part of the Northwest Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 804 of 1,560 elementary schools statewide — the 48th percentile with 2 stars — placing it near the middle of Ohio schools and clearly above its own district, which sits at the 28th percentile with 1 star.

The school has real momentum. Its state rank percentile climbed from 28 in 2018–2019 to 48 in 2025–2026, and chronic absenteeism fell from 34.2% in 2021–2022 to 16.8% in 2025–2026, well below the district's 27.1%. Fifth grade results rebounded sharply: math rose from 37.7 in 2022–2023 to 64.8 in 2025–2026, and science from 37.5 to 59.3. Test scores are mixed but solid overall — 4th grade math, 5th grade math, 3rd grade ELA, and 5th grade ELA all beat both district and state averages, while 3rd grade math is the only subject below both. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 16.8 is lower than most nearby schools, including Taylor Elementary School (18.1) and Fairfield West Elementary School (23.0).

Subgroup results show the school serves several groups well: African American students rank at the 87th percentile, and English language learners, low-income students, Hispanic students, and multi-racial students all rank above average. The biggest gap is special education students, who rank in the 8th percentile with 0 stars. Compared with neighbors, Pleasant Run outperforms Taylor Elementary in every listed subject and has lower absenteeism (16.8% vs. 23.4%). It trails Fairfield South Elementary School (70th percentile, 10.4% absenteeism) and Fairfield West (60th percentile), is close to Fairfield Compass Elementary School (49th percentile), and is stronger than Winton Woods Elementary School, Mt. Healthy North Elementary School, and generally Hamilton County Math & Science.
