Summary

Pleasant View Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school serving 422 students in Franklin, WI, a suburban community in the Milwaukee area, and is part of the Franklin Public School District.

For 2025–26, Pleasant View ranked 273rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 74th percentile, 4 stars, placing it in the top quarter of the state. Even so, that is below its own peak: the school was at the 85th percentile in 2024–25, 93rd in 2021–22 and 96th in 2018–19. Forward Exam proficiency is above state averages in ELA and math at every tested grade and in 4th-grade science, though 4th-grade social studies is slightly below the state. Against its own district, results are mixed: Pleasant View trails in 3rd- and 4th-grade math, 4th-grade science and 4th-grade social studies, while ELA and 5th-grade math are relative strengths. It clearly outperforms nearby Forest Ridge Elementary, Cedar Hills Elementary, Garland Elementary and Victory Elementary, but trails Canterbury Elementary, College Park Elementary, Highland View Elementary and same-district Southwood Glen Elementary. Ben Franklin Elementary is the closest peer — stronger in 4th-grade math and social studies, while Pleasant View leads in ELA and 5th-grade math.

Chronic absenteeism is 9.4% — below the state's 17.3%, but above the district's 7.6% and above Southwood Glen Elementary and Ben Franklin Elementary, and up from 7.2% a year earlier, so attendance is worth watching. Pleasant View spends $13,071 per student at a 15.6 student-teacher ratio — less funding and larger classes than most suburban neighbors — yet still produces above-state results. Special Education students improved sharply in statewide subgroup ranking, from the 43rd to the 72nd percentile over three years, while English Language Learner students fell from the 91st to the 58th percentile and female students from the 89th to the 67th, areas where targeted support could help keep outcomes consistent.
