Education
Almost all of Pleasanton is located within the Pleasanton Independent School District and home to the Pleasanton High School Eagles. In the school year 2010-2011 Pleasanton I.S.D. received Academically Unacceptable ratings from the Texas Education Agency for their High School Campus and their School of Choice. The School District received an Acceptable rating for their Jr. High and Exceptional for the Elementary and Primary Campuses. Pleasanton I.S.D. has seen a number of families move their students to Jourdanton I.S.D. and McMullen County I.S.D. due to the poor ratings of the High School Campus.
A small portion of the town is in the Jourdanton Independent School District.
Coastal Bend College of Beeville maintains a branch two-year campus in Pleasanton.
