At 9.4:1 students to teachers, Pleasant Valley Intermediate Sch sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
38% of students at Pleasant Valley Intermediate Sch were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
