Pleasant Grove Joint Union

The Pleasant Grove Joint Union school district contains a single elementary school, Pleasant Grove, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While Pleasant Grove has some areas of strong academic performance, particularly in the early elementary grades, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent proficiency across all grade levels.

Pleasant Grove's proficiency rates in 3rd and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics exceed the state averages, suggesting the school is effectively supporting student learning in the early and middle elementary years. However, the school's performance declines in the upper elementary and middle school grades, with proficiency rates dropping below the state average in 6th and 8th grade for both subjects. This could indicate a need to strengthen curriculum and instruction in the later grades.

Other notable findings include a slightly higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and a student-teacher ratio that is also slightly above the state average. With a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Pleasant Grove may have an advantage in some areas, but addressing attendance issues and improving instructional practices in the upper grades could be key focus areas for the school and district to enhance overall student outcomes.
