Pleasant Grove Elementary School

PGE has some great teachers who really care about the students. Parental involvement is very uneven, and communication from the administration isn't always as clear or frequent as it could be, although the monthly newsletters help. PGE really seems torn in two directions - it could be a great school, with greater investment and commitment from a broader base of parents, teachers, and community, or it could decline.

The staff and principal are just interested in obtaining test and AYP data. They do not care about the children as people or what they do to the children to get their test data.

Our son will be in 2nd grade and our daughter will be starting kindergarten this fall at Pleasant Grove. We love our school! Parents are always encouraged to be involved and any concerns about our child's education were always addressed in such a helpful, friendly and professional manner. Schools with great faculty and staff are hard to find and we appreciate Pleasant Grove for their devotion to maintaining higher learning standards while keeping care and concern for each individual student at heart.

Our child has been at Pleasant Grove Elementary since kindergarden, and he is now in third grade. We have found the teachers to be exceptional in regards to their performance in the classroom and their love for the students. The entire staff from the principal, office workers, cafeteria, and teachers have a deep concern for the well being of the children, and earnestly desire for them to succeed. The parents work closely with the teachers and staff to ensure the best possible enviroment for the children to learn in.

My child is currently enrolled at Pleasant Grove Elementary. The school itself is marvelous. It has dedicated teachers, a principal who understands how to balance the needs of the students while maintaining their respect & his authority and of course a wonderful support team of administration. This school provides not only excellent education values for the students but also the parents themselves. After school classes that provide parents with important information regarding how to improve their children's reading skills are offered several times a year. The parents themselves are encouraged to be an active partner in their child's education and are offered advice on parental concerns with warmth and understanding.
