One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Pleasant Hill has more public-school enrollment than 14% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Pleasant Hill High enrolls 35.1% of Pleasant Hill's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

A full K–12 ladder sits inside the city boundary

Pleasant Hill's list includes 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high-school campus, plus 1 combined-grade record. The city average spans every major grade stage, so the ranked table is more informative when read within level than as one interchangeable queue.

One district, but meaningful resource variation

Pleasant Hill's schools share one district authority while their average Resource Investment Index ranks at the 91st percentile among listed cities. Shared governance removes one source of policy variation, but it does not erase campus differences by grade span or enrollment. The 10-point gap between Pleasant Hill Elem. and Pleasant Hill High measures the remaining local spread. Use the district-level picture for common budget context, then compare the school components to see whether staffing, counseling, gifted-program reporting, or attendance accounts for each campus's position.

Pleasant Hill High accounts for 35.1% of all Pleasant Hill public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Pleasant Hill-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Pleasant Hill school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities

Pleasant Hill school enrollment ranges from 306 students (lowest) to 730 students (highest), a spread of 424 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Pleasant Hill operates one school district — a single-district system

Pleasant Hill's listed schools share one district boundary, budget authority, and reporting chain. That makes citywide and districtwide governance easier to compare, but it does not make individual campuses uniform: grade configuration, staffing, programs, and student need can still vary materially within the same school district.

Pleasant Hill student-teacher ratio is 14.1:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Pleasant Hill is typically wider than the Pleasant Hill-aggregate figure suggests.
