Summary:
Zip code 78064 in Pleasanton, Texas, is served by two elementary schools within the Pleasanton Independent School District (Isd): Pleasanton Pri (grades PK-2) and Pleasanton Elementary (grades 3-5). Both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with nearly 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and academic performance generally trails state averages.
A key difference between the two schools is their student-teacher ratio. Pleasanton Pri, which serves the youngest students, has a notably higher ratio of 17.4:1 compared to Pleasanton Elementary's 13.8:1. This is a critical point for parents, as smaller class sizes are often considered beneficial for early learning. Per-student spending is nearly identical between the two schools, at roughly $11,200 to $11,300.
Academically, Pleasanton Elementary experienced a sharp one-year decline, dropping from the 40th percentile (2-star) to the 23rd percentile (1-star) in its state ranking. While most STAAR test scores are below state averages, 5th-grade science is a bright spot, exceeding the state average. Spanish-language STAAR results show a mixed picture, with 4th-grade reading above the state average but 3rd-grade math critically low at just 10% proficiency. The district's high poverty rate strongly correlates with these lower academic outcomes, suggesting a need for comprehensive support services beyond the classroom.
