Pleasant Grove Middle School

Pleasant Grove is a wonderful middle school. I have had 2 children who have attended and one currently in 8th grade. There are many great teachers and Mr. Scroggins is very involved and very helpful. He is always willing to help and responds to your concerns quickly.

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!!!

I have been very happy with Pleasant Grove Middle School. The principal, Dave Scroggins, loves his job, is committed to the students' learning and well-being, and they respond in kind. I was impressed by the positivity and competence of all of the teachers my daughter had in 6th and 7th grades. The school has a vibrant music program -- a standout in this day of budget cuts. Also, the teachers try to present the curriculum in a creative way, so that even "boring" subjects like math and history are not so dull. My only complaint is that due to the size of the student body, the staff does not see the daily bullying and harassment that goes on, starting in 7th grade. I know this type of behavior occurs at this age, but the experience reduces my child's desire to go to school, which impacts her ability to focus and learn.

I go to this school. It is fabulous! the learning method is great and you feel so safe! Pleasant Grove offers Challenging academic programs and excellent teachers! did i mention the strong school leadership?

Pleasant Grove is a good school and the teachers are good. The 8th grade excellerated class is one that I would not recommend. The class is not difficult but I have not learned anything in it. You will not get much homework except in Math. Like every school we have had to have the police come, and there have been some things going on but other than that it is good. It is practically new and the campus is beautiful around wet-lands. The rest of Rescue though is sadly not that nice. I would recommend this school to anyone.

As I read through the reviews, there seems to be a pattern. Either You love Pleasent Grove or you hate it, no middle ground. We personally very much love the school and it's staff. Although our interaction with the school's administrative staff has been limited, we have found the teachers very committed and nurturing. If parents are involving themselves with their child's education beyond just opening up their report cards, then they will find Pleasent Grove to be a wonderful middle school. There is a reason it continuously ranks academically in the top 5 schools in the district.

I've been to a lot of school in my past, and I've moved a lot too. I love the Princible, and the vice princible. I'm starting my second year here, I've never liked school since I started it, never tried. Since I started going to this school, I've learned to love school, and I'm trying. The teachers are nice, the people that run the office are nice, and I think parents should send their kids to Blue Oak Elementary if they think this school is BAD.

This school is an abomination of education. The principal and vice principal are very friendly and have openly shown it on the student run newspaper. I happen to be concerned about the fights and sexual harrasment cases!

ever since i enrolled in this school, my grades have been outstanding. if i had to choose out of all the schools i have been to (9 schools) i would have to say this is my favorite. the teachers are very nice, and good at teaching. i have actually started liking school much more ever since i got here.
