Summary

Pleasant Hill Elementary School is a K–5 school in Pleasant Hill, Oregon, serving 417 students in the Pleasant Hill School District 1. One of the most striking facts for parents is that the school ranks 245th of 709 elementary schools in 2025–2026—65th percentile with 3 stars—even though its district ranks 108th of 141 Oregon districts (23rd percentile, 1 star). That makes it a school-level bright spot within a lower-ranked district.

In 2025–2026 OSAS results, the school outperformed both its district and Oregon statewide in English language arts, math, and science at the all-grades level. Math is the clearest strength: 44.3% proficient, 13.3 points above the district and 11.4 points above the state, placing it 3rd among 11 nearby elementary schools behind only Douglas Gardens Elementary School and Thurston Elementary School. ELA is solid at 49.3%, also above district and state, while science is just slightly above the state at 31.5% and trails Thurston Elementary School, Creslane Elementary School, and Douglas Gardens Elementary School. Grade-level highlights include 3rd-grade math at 51.4% and 4th-grade ELA at 52.8%; 5th-grade ELA is just under the state average, and 5th-grade science is only marginally above it.

Chronic absenteeism is another major strength: 20.3% in 2024–2025, well below the district’s 28.1% and the state’s 33.5%, and the lowest reported rate among nearby schools. The school also stands out for low-income students, who rank in the 80th percentile (4 stars), and male students, at the 75th percentile (4 stars); special education students are near the statewide median at the 45th percentile but have improved from the 18th percentile in 2022–2023. With per-student spending of $17,319—lower than most nearby schools—and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6, the school gets solid results without outspending neighbors. The main opportunities are lifting 5th-grade ELA, strengthening science, and continuing to improve special education outcomes.
