Pleasant Hill School District 1

The Pleasant Hill School District 1 consists of two schools - Pleasant Hill High School and Pleasant Hill Elementary School. The district serves students from the Pleasant Hill area, which is located in Oregon.

While Pleasant Hill High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 152nd out of 241 Oregon high schools in 2021-2022 to 199th out of 258 in 2022-2023, Pleasant Hill Elementary School has shown some improvement, moving from 446th out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 234th out of 706 in 2024-2025. This suggests the elementary school may be performing better than the high school.

Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (34.3% at both schools) and relatively low proficiency rates on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, a significant portion of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the need for additional resources and support to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students. The district may need to investigate the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the high school and elementary school to understand how these factors are impacting educational outcomes.
