Summary:
Zip code 78064 in Pleasanton, Texas, is served by five public schools within the Pleasanton Independent School District (Isd), educating approximately 3,403 students from elementary through high school in a community where over 66% of students face economic disadvantage.
Pleasanton High School stands out as the district's academic anchor, boasting a strong 96.1% graduation rate and a low 0.8% dropout rate, despite the district's overall 1-star rating. In contrast, Pleasanton J H presents a fascinating paradox: while only 20% of its 8th graders are proficient in general math, an impressive 89.74% of its Algebra I students achieve proficiency—nearly double the state average. This suggests the school excels at accelerating top math students but struggles with the broader curriculum. The Pleasanton Independent School District (Isd) School Of Choice, an alternative school for at-risk students, highlights critical challenges with a 78.6% graduation rate and 20% U.S. History proficiency, serving a fundamentally different mission than traditional schools.
A district-wide crisis in mathematics is evident, with proficiency rates from 3rd through 8th grade significantly trailing state averages. For instance, only 20% of 8th graders at Pleasanton J H are proficient in math versus 47.24% statewide. Resource allocation also raises questions: Pleasanton High School spends the most per student ($12,904) while having the lowest economic disadvantage rate (55.01%), whereas Pleasanton Pri serves a higher-need population (71.84% free/reduced lunch) with less funding ($11,322 per student). Despite these challenges, the high school's strong graduation rate suggests effective support systems that help students overcome earlier academic gaps.
