Summary

Pleasant Grove Intermediate in Texarkana, TX, serves 514 students in grades 3-5 and is part of the highly-rated Pleasant Grove Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 7% of all Texas school districts. This school has a long history of strong academic performance, earning 5-star ratings from 2020-2023, though its state ranking has recently declined from the 97th percentile to the 79th percentile. Despite this drop, Pleasant Grove still significantly outperforms the state average in most subjects, and it does so with a higher student-teacher ratio (16:1) than many nearby schools, suggesting effective instruction and a strong school culture.

When compared to other schools in the area, Pleasant Grove stands out as a clear academic leader, but it is not the top performer. For example, Spring Lake Park Elementary and Westlawn Elementary (both in Texarkana Independent School District (Isd)) score 20-40 percentage points below the state average in Reading and Math, while Pleasant Grove scores 15-30 points above. However, the Martha & Josh Morriss Math & Engineering Elementary, a specialized magnet school just 1.5 miles away, ranks in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools with near-perfect proficiency rates. Similarly, Red Lick Elementary (in Red Lick Independent School District (Isd)) also outperforms Pleasant Grove, achieving 70-80% proficiency in core subjects. This places Pleasant Grove in a strong second tier of performance, excelling despite serving a population where roughly 44% of students are economically disadvantaged.

One interesting finding is that Pleasant Grove spends less per student ($9,131) than many lower-performing schools in the region, such as Westlawn Elementary ($13,496), indicating that factors like instructional quality and community support drive its success. The school also shows notable strengths with specific student groups, including Hispanic students and English Language Learners, but has room for improvement with others. Additionally, 5th Grade Science scores have been volatile, swinging from 68% proficiency to 25% and back, which is unusual for a school with stable Reading and Math scores. Overall, Pleasant Grove remains a solid choice for families seeking a high-performing school in the Texarkana area.
