Summary

Pleasant Grove High is a large, high-performing 9-12 school serving over 2,500 students within the Elk Grove Unified School District in California.

This school stands out for its consistent academic excellence and strong student outcomes. It ranks in the 92nd percentile of all California high schools, with proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science that are significantly higher than both the district and state averages. Perhaps most impressively, Pleasant Grove High achieves these results while effectively supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with its performance for this subgroup ranking in the 91st percentile. The school also boasts a 96.7% graduation rate and a very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.6%, indicating a highly engaged student body and a positive school climate.

When compared to nearby schools like Franklin High and Cosumnes Oaks High, Pleasant Grove maintains a decisive academic edge, particularly in mathematics. Its success appears driven by instructional effectiveness and culture rather than higher spending, as its per-student costs are lower than some other schools in the district, such as Calvine High. While performance is strong across most groups, data shows some variability in annual results for English Learners, an area for ongoing focus. Overall, Pleasant Grove High is a model of stability and high achievement within its community.
