Summary

Pleasant Grove High is a large public high school in Pleasant Grove, Utah, serving grades 10–12 and 1,905 students in the Alpine District, a generally strong district in the suburban Utah County area. The school’s latest statewide ranking is 33rd of 139 schools, placing it in the 76th percentile with four stars. That is a major improvement from 88th in 2023–24 and 99th in 2021–22, suggesting a strong recent upward trend.

Academic and graduation results are encouraging. In 2025–26, 55.4% of 10th graders were proficient in English language arts, 37.5% in mathematics, and 44.5% in science—above both district and state rates in all three subjects. Math is a particular local strength: Pleasant Grove High slightly exceeded Lone Peak High and outperformed other nearby traditional schools, including American Fork High, Mountain View High, Timpanogos High, and Orem High. The graduation rate reached 93.6% in 2024–25, above the district’s 92.7% and Utah’s 89.8%, while the dropout rate fell to 5.0%.

The clearest challenge is attendance: 27.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, compared with 20.8% districtwide and much lower rates at Lone Peak High and American Fork High. The English Language Learner subgroup also had a notably low 2024–25 ranking, indicating a need for focused support. Nearby specialized schools such as Utah County Academy of Science and Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy post higher scores, but their smaller, specialized settings make them imperfect comparisons. Overall, Pleasant Grove High offers strong recent academic momentum and completion outcomes, with attendance as the main opportunity for improvement.
