Great School. Every teacher makes you feel welcome and supports you in anyway they can to help you succeed.

The teaching staff are incredibly warm and helpful in ensuring all students succeed. The office and support staff go out of their way to know every student's name and interests; it's really impressive. I highly recommend PG!

Pleasant Grove is a great school! The principal and VP are very visible and supportive of students and families. Teachers and staff work very hard to support the needs of students. There is a huge effort to involve the community.

I am continuously inspired by the warmth and encouragement of these students that attend Pleasant Grove. They are supported in such an encouraging atmosphere, that they learn to treat each other with warmth, concern, and support. There are many programs, clubs, activities to ensure that each student has the opportunity to excel academically. Students are eager to befriend the special education students, and go out of their way to include all students in activities and friendships.I would highly recommend this school!

No support for students diagnosed with ADHD. Staff decided to ignore diagnosis and refused to allow testing by school psych to gain access to IEP. Student was suspended. My children no longer attend this school nor will they in the future.

My kids will not be returning next year. Trying to get your children educated should not be such a challenge. I am truly disappointed with the experience we've had here. There are a few great teachers here embedded in an environment of impatience and apathy. Both of my children have stated they had teachers that hate them. Hate. The after school program was terrible too, not safe and not fun for the kids. I can't think of anything positive to say overall. I'm not sure it's different anywhere else, I will be home schooling next year.

I was a student at this school since 2011. I'm moving on to high school now but I can still remember all the pros and cons this school had. I had a wonderful time at this school since I first arrived until the day I left. In sixth grade you will often have a very heavy backpack and have to carry around things that were not very necessary, such as notebooks we only used once a month on random days etc. the older students treat the younger ones fairly and most students are quite nice. In all 3 years I have had some teachers that don't teach very well or give out more packets than hands-on work. 8th grade year is by far the best, yet the hardest, year, and you feel a great sense of accomplishment when your done. Over all I loved this school! I would give a 4 star on teaching though. I would reccomend less packets and a little more one-on-one and hands-in work.

Just relocated here and have an 8th grade boy at this school. LOVE it!!! The kids are all so friendly and welcoming and they have a strong "anti-bully" rule at the school. The principal and vice principal are very much involved in all aspects of the school. This is the first year that my son has been in public school and it has been a wonderful experience. LOVE all the teachers! Very very happy here and would recommend to anyone!

My second child just finished 8th grade at Pleasant Grove. It is a wonderful school from the top down. The administration responds to concerns quickly and efficiently and the teachers are talented and trained. There are programs for remediation and for those that exce tool. Just a great school overall.

Since moving here from So. CA, we startled to find out that my daughter had to attend "Middle School" in the 6th grade. That said, our experience with Julie, Carol and Mr. Scroggins in staff has been excellent, very kind, helpful and understanding. The segregation of 6th graders in rooms & teachers also helped the qualms. My daughter is very happy in this marvelous school. Keep up the FAB work Pleasant Grove...Go PUMAS!!! Thank you JULIE!!!
