Summary

Pleasant Hill Elementary School is a PK–8 school in Pleasant Hill, Tennessee, serving 588 students as part of Cumberland County Schools. The school currently ranks in the 36th percentile statewide (2 stars), and while its chronic absenteeism rate of 13.1% is better than both the district and state averages, academic proficiency trails the district and state in every core subject — math, English language arts, science, and social studies.

Compared with nearby schools in the same district, Pleasant Hill is clearly behind. Homestead Elementary (12.8 miles away) ranks in the 69th percentile with 56.9% math proficiency and 47.4% ELA proficiency, while South Cumberland Elementary (8.7 miles away) posts 52.8% math and 52.5% ELA — nearly 18 points higher than Pleasant Hill in reading. Even the region’s standout, Findlay Elementary, hits 77.9% math proficiency. Pleasant Hill does outperform a few nearby schools like Stone Elementary in most subjects, despite spending less per student. However, the gap between Pleasant Hill and its stronger peers suggests improvement is possible within the same district.

Two areas deserve particular attention. The school’s low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranking collapsed from the 72nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 28th percentile in 2025-2026, a dramatic one-year swing. Also, White students at Pleasant Hill have ranked in the bottom 16–19% statewide for three consecutive years, well below the school’s overall rank. On a more positive note, 8th grade math and science are genuine bright spots (49% proficiency in both, beating state averages), while 7th and 8th grade ELA remain stuck in the 27–29% range. With strong attendance and rising per-student spending, the school has foundations to build on — but targeted work on reading instruction in upper grades and support for economically disadvantaged students will be key to closing the gap.
