Summary:
The Pleasant Hill School District 1 in Oregon has only one high school, Pleasant Hill High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance is a concern, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the equity challenges it faces.
Despite the district's higher-than-average per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Pleasant Hill High School continues to struggle academically. The data shows a concerning trend of declining performance as students progress through the grades, with the 11th-grade proficiency rates being particularly low. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices.
While the school's performance in earlier grades (6th and 7th) is better, the significant drop in academic achievement by the 11th grade suggests the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the factors contributing to this decline. Addressing the equity concerns and improving the overall academic outcomes at Pleasant Hill High School should be a priority for the Pleasant Hill School District 1.
