Pleasantville Public School District

The Pleasantville Public School District consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Pleasantville area. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools, such as North Main Street Elementary School and Pleasantville Middle School, standing out for their relatively stronger results compared to the district and state averages.

North Main Street Elementary School is a standout, with the highest performance on state assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects among the elementary schools. In 2023-2024, the school had the highest percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Pleasantville Middle School also stands out for its exceptional performance on the Algebra I assessment, with 77.2% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools performing below state averages on state assessments. Pleasantville High School in particular has low proficiency rates, with only 23.4% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 3.1% in Algebra I. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district suggest that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may be contributing to the overall lower academic performance observed.
