Summary

Pleasant Valley Primary is a public elementary school (PK-4) serving 591 students in Vancouver, WA, operating within the Battle Ground School District and characterized by a notable strength in mathematics instruction alongside areas for growth in English Language Arts.

Academically, the school presents a unique profile: its math proficiency consistently outperforms both the district and state averages, while its reading and English scores lag behind. This suggests particularly effective math teaching that other schools might learn from. The school serves a community with significant economic need, with nearly half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it manages resources efficiently, spending less per student than many nearby schools while maintaining a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.9 to 1. Performance for student subgroups, such as those from low-income families, shows recent improvement but remains an area of focus.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal stark differences over very short distances. For instance, Salmon Creek Elementary, less than two miles away in the Vancouver School District, has a significantly higher ranking and lower poverty rate. Within its own district, Pleasant Valley compares favorably to its closest peer, Glenwood Heights Primary, in math scores and class size. The school's value lies in its efficient operations and math program, while its key opportunity is to build on that success to strengthen literacy instruction for all students.

Thursday, March 21, 2013

I am very pleased with Pleasant Valley! My kids have attended this school since first grade and are now in third grade. My children have made so much progress in this school, the teachers and staff are very helpful and do their best to make sure students are progressing. Like every school parents need to be involved with their school to help their children get the most education from thier school. The teachers are big into keeping an open line of communication with the parents either my email or phone and even willing to schedule time to meet to go over your childs progress. PTA is huge in battle ground district and is amazing, this school has a fantastic support system backed by the PTA, I'm for one excited my son will be starting kindergarten this year! Close Quote
