Summary

Pleasantville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in the Titusville Area School District in Pleasantville, PA. With 215 students, the school is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, and its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 387 and 764 out of over 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years.

One of Pleasantville Elementary's key strengths is its exceptional performance in math and science. The school consistently outperforms the Titusville Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania in math proficiency, with 57.6% of students proficient or better in PSSA math in 2024-2025, compared to 42.4% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Additionally, the school has exceptionally high science proficiency rates, reaching over 80% in recent years, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. However, the school lags behind in English Language Arts compared to other elementary schools in the Titusville Area School District, such as Hydetown Elementary, which outperforms Pleasantville in several key metrics.

Despite serving a higher proportion of low-socioeconomic status students compared to the state, Pleasantville Elementary maintains strong academic performance, thanks in part to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 11.5. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in dropout rates in recent years, reaching 1.6% in 2022-2023, an area that requires close monitoring and intervention. Additionally, the school's performance data shows notable differences in the rankings of female and male students, with male students ranking in the top 40% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, while female students rank in the bottom 30%, indicating potential gender-based achievement gaps that warrant further investigation and targeted strategies.
