Summary

Pleasant Grove Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 393 students in the Elk Grove Unified district, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide and maintaining a 4-star rating for nearly a decade.

Academically, the school stands out for its strong results, particularly in mathematics where 61% of students are proficient—significantly higher than both district and state averages. It achieves these solid outcomes while serving a student population with a moderate level of economic need, a notable contrast to several nearby schools like James A. McKee Elementary and Robert J. Fite Elementary, which have higher economic need and lower test scores. While not the absolute top performer in the area like Arnold Adreani Elementary, Pleasant Grove demonstrates that excellent education is achievable in a diverse community setting.

The school also manages student attendance effectively, with a chronic absenteeism rate better than the district average and lower than several comparison schools. Its performance has improved for students from low-income families, and it uses its resources efficiently to support learning. For parents, Pleasant Grove represents a reliable choice that delivers strong academic value, especially for those seeking proven success without the extremely low poverty rates found at the area's highest-ranked schools.
