The Pleasant Hill R-III School District is about what you would expect out of any school district. It has decent teachers, students, and buildings. The teachers are very helpful and deeply connected to their subjects. In my personal experience, I've had a chemistry teacher that worked in a nuclear power plant, a government teacher involved in local politics, and a language arts teacher that worked in grading Advanced Placement tests. Though the material can be confusing, I find that we all are able to pull through and learn new things. As for improvements, more money dedicated to the arts is needed, as those departments are suffering. Safety for students is concerning. We often go to school in inclement weather, and the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted some terrifying responsibilities within the school board. All in all, a decent school, but with room to improve.
Pleasant Hill High School is as expected for a small town school. The school emphasizes sports and academics over everything, yet not enough focus is placed on the arts. Still, the arts programs are terrific at PHHS. These creative teachers really care about their jobs, even more than the academic-related teachers. The environment itself is pretty accepting with most students feeling welcomed upon their freshman year.
From my experience at this school, I can say that it’s not a bad school, but it’s also not a great school. The music and science departments are the best and I have had the privilege of being apart of PLTW studies in science and Hillside, a nationally ranked show choir. If this school needed to work on anything, I would imagine it would be discipline and college preparation. I have watched kids be utterly disrespectful teachers and students and nothing be done about it and that is not acceptable. As far as college readiness, the AP classes offered to sophomores and juniors are the closest to it. More time should be spent teaching juniors and seniors about what to expect and classes at this point should be challenging.
I have enjoyed my past years and wouldn’t trade them for anything, but these changes would’ve made a difference not just in my life, but in students’ around me.
