We absolutely loved Pleasant Hill Elementary during the three years our children attended. The staff and overall feel at the school are very positive. We really appreciated how the children felt so comfortable there and how any concerns were handled promptly and efficiently. If we move back to the area, we would definitely plan on moving into the Pleasant Hill school district.

About the tests

This year, Tennessee introduced two new exams in algebra II and English III, and those results are included on the GreatSchools profile as well. The Gateway/EOC exams are standards-based tests that measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Tennessee. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
