This is the best school in the district and rarely gets any kudos for it. As far as test scores this school is above the norm! It is a rural school with low socioeconomic students...however the teachers, staff and administration do ALL possible to reach these kids! I thinks that PHES is the best in the state!

I have 2 children that attended this school last year. My students were challenged. Discipline problems seemed to be nonexistent. We moved from an adjacent school district where discruptions in the classroom were just becoming a problem. Excellent school.

I can't say enough good things about Pleasant Hill Elementary! Everyone there cares about your child and treat them like your child is theirs. My daughter loved her teacher this year and she is excited about next year! Excellent school!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 South Carolina used the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in writing, English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. The PASS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
