Summary:
ZIP code 97455 is home to a single elementary school, Pleasant Hill Elementary School, a K–5 school with 417 students in Pleasant Hill School District 1. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there is no other local school to compare it with — instead, the most useful comparisons are against its own district and against Oregon averages. In 2025–2026, the school earned 3 stars and ranked 245th out of 709 Oregon schools, placing it in the 65th percentile. Its district, by contrast, ranks 108th of 141 districts, in the 23rd percentile with 1 star, so the school is a clear standout within its district.
Test results back that up. In all-grades 2025–2026 OSAS scores, 49.3% of students met standards in English Language Arts, 44.3% in Mathematics, and 31.5% in Science. Those figures beat the district in every subject by double digits — about 11.8 points in ELA, 13.3 points in math, and 12.7 points in science — and also sit above state averages: +11.4 points in math, +5.5 in ELA, and +0.9 in science. Math is the strongest subject relative to the state, while science is the weakest relative advantage. The school has held 3 stars for three straight years, moving from the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 65th percentile in 2025–2026.
Context matters here. About 52.76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $17,319, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.6:1. Chronic absenteeism is 20.3%, notably better than the district's 28.1% and the state's 33.5%, though roughly 1 in 5 students is still chronically absent. Areas to watch include a steady grade-level math decline (51.4% in 3rd, 45.8% in 4th, 35.6% in 5th) and 5th-grade ELA at 46.6%, just below the state's 47.1% — the only grade-subject here that trails Oregon.
