Summary

Pleasant Grove Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 739 students in Greenwood, Indiana, a south-Indianapolis suburb, as part of the Center Grove Community School Corp, a district ranked 19th of 374 in the state. In 2025–26 the school ranked 232nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (77th percentile, 4 stars). Proficiency sits in the middle of its district and comfortably above state benchmarks — 58.60 in ELA, 57.26 in Math and 54.14 in Science — roughly 5–6 points behind the district average in every subject, but every grade-level figure clears the state target (3rd grade ELA +15 points, 4th grade ELA +16, 5th grade ELA +20).

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism of 5.4% is about one-third of the state rate (16.7%) and second-best in its comparison group, ahead of Sugar Grove Elementary School (6.0%) and North Grove Elementary School (9.8%). Class size is the clearest structural difference from neighbors. At 19.8 students per teacher, Pleasant Grove carries the highest ratio in its comparison set while spending $9,554 per student — nearly identical to Westwood Elementary School ($9,551, running at 16.1:1) and to North Grove Elementary School ($9,280, 17.8:1), which posts higher scores despite serving more low-income students. Across the boundary, Perry Township Schools spend $11,392–$12,911 per student with class sizes of 14.5–15.6 and still post weaker results, so dollars alone are not the lever here.

The school's weakness is concentrated in fifth grade: fifth-grade Math (44.55) and fifth-grade Social Studies (45.45, below the state's 47.2) trail both the district and the school's own stronger 3rd and 4th grade results, which sit only 5–6 points behind district. Reading and math in the earlier grades are solid, and ELA actually improves as students move up (55.81 → 58.65 → 61.82). Worth knowing: in 2022–23 Pleasant Grove outperformed its own district in both ELA (61.00) and Math (69.21) and ranked in the 90th percentile. That history suggests the current numbers are a recovery question rather than a ceiling.
