Summary

Pleasant Valley Primary is a public school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 591 students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade in the Battle Ground School District. The school ranks 699th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 39th statewide percentile. Its student-teacher ratio is relatively favorable at 15.9 to 1, but its overall ranking has declined from the 55th percentile in 2021–2022. The school also serves a community with increasing economic need: free or reduced-price lunch participation rose to 48.73% in 2024–2025.

Math is Pleasant Valley’s strongest academic area. In 2025–2026, 45.35% of students were proficient in math, above both the district rate of 42.34% and the state rate of 43.11%. English Language Arts is a more significant concern, with 40.47% proficiency compared with 50.55% in the district and 52.81% statewide. Fourth grade is the clearest area to investigate: proficiency was 38.58% in math and 36.22% in ELA, both notably below third-grade results. The most relevant local comparison is Glenwood Heights Primary, which serves the same PK–4 grades in the same district and has a similar economic profile, yet outperformed Pleasant Valley in every reported subject and grade.

Several nearby schools perform substantially better, including Salmon Creek Elementary, Chinook Elementary School, Felida Elementary School, and South Ridge Elementary. However, Pleasant Valley is stronger than several lower-ranked area schools. Parents may want to look closely at literacy instruction, fourth-grade support, and services for students receiving special education, English learners, and students from low-income households. The special education effectiveness ranking is particularly concerning at the 3rd percentile statewide, while the low-income subgroup ranks in the 26th percentile. Overall, Pleasant Valley shows a meaningful math strength but needs broader improvement in ELA and subgroup outcomes.

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
