What stands out at Pleasant Valley Elem/Jr High

Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing

Pleasant Valley Elem/Jr High sits near the smaller end of the Idaho enrollment distribution while also reporting a lower student-teacher ratio than most state schools. That pairing is consistent with a compact, teacher-dense setting, though small scale can limit the number of specialized courses or support roles a campus can sustain. The program and staffing sections below show whether the lean ratio extends beyond classroom teachers into broader student services.

A combined-grade campus has a different support burden

Pleasant Valley Elem/Jr High serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.

Pleasant Valley Elem/Jr High is a small combined-grade school in Jordan Valley, Idaho, enrolling 11 students.

Classes run notably small here: at 11:1, Pleasant Valley Elem/Jr High is leaner than roughly 89% of Idaho schools and 36% under the state's 17.1:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.
