Summary

Pleasant Grove Intermediate is a high-performing public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Texarkana, Texas, with a student population of 483. The school is part of the Pleasant Grove Independent School District, which is ranked 126 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Pleasant Grove Intermediate consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 59.09% of 3rd graders, 68.54% of 4th graders, and 67.04% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83% respectively. The school also performs exceptionally well across various student subgroups, ranking among the top elementary schools in Texas for female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

While Pleasant Grove Intermediate's academic performance is impressive, some nearby schools within the Texarkana Independent School District, such as Spring Lake Park Elementary and Westlawn Elementary, struggle with much lower academic achievement. The school's steady increase in per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is investing resources to support Pleasant Grove Intermediate's success, which is in contrast to some nearby schools with higher spending but lower performance.
