Summary

Pleasant Green School is a PK–6 elementary school in Magna, Utah, serving 482 students in the Granite District in a community where several nearby elementary schools face similar academic and attendance challenges. The school’s 2025–2026 standing was very low: 552nd out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 2nd percentile and earning a SchoolDigger rating of 0 stars. This was its weakest ranking in the five-year period provided.

Recent RISE results show low proficiency across subjects. Across tested grades, approximately 16% of Pleasant Green students were proficient in English Language Arts, 20% in mathematics, and 15% in science, compared with roughly 35%, 35%, and 41%, respectively, across the Granite District. The school’s strongest reported result was 27.6% proficiency in fourth-grade math, while fifth-grade science was lowest at 11.5%. Attendance is another major concern: chronic absenteeism was 40.0% in 2024–2025, compared with 30.6% in the district and 23.8% statewide. The student-teacher ratio was also relatively high at 23.5, which may make individualized support more difficult.

West Valley School, about 2.7 miles away and in the same district, is the clearest comparison: it ranked in the 26th percentile, had 29.2% chronic absenteeism, and a 20.6 student-teacher ratio. It outperformed Pleasant Green in all eight reported subject-grade comparisons, including fifth-grade math, 38.5% versus 13.2%, and science, 48.4% versus 11.5%. Wallace Stegner Academy West Valley posted even stronger results and much lower absenteeism, but it serves grades K–8 and operates in a different district. Pleasant Green has shown occasional strengths, especially in some fourth- and sixth-grade results, suggesting that improvement is possible. Attendance, foundational reading and math, consistent instruction, and access to individualized help appear to be the most important areas for families to monitor.

I keep seeing low ratings for Pleasant Green Elementary on different sites. I've had children at Pleasant Green for 7 years now, and I've been very happy with the education my children have received. The last couple years especially, I've had a great relationship with the principal, who really loves the children at the school. I've been involved in the very active PTA, which has helped me get to know the teachers at the school, most of whom are extraordinary. 2 of my children are in the gifted program, and while they haven't been challenged as much as I'd like, they were given lots of opportunities to grow and go beyond the other students in different subjects. My other child has special needs, and her teacher and the rest of her support team (principal, social worker, resource teachers) have gone so far above and beyond to meet her needs and help her succeed. I just can't say enough about Pleasant Green's strengths. Close Quote
