Summary:
ZIP code 84062 has one middle school, Pleasant Grove Junior High, serving grades 7–9 in the Pleasant Grove area with 1,181 students.
Pleasant Grove Junior High is above Utah’s statewide averages in every reported subject and grade, although its results vary by subject. Mathematics is the school’s clearest strength: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 54.4% in seventh grade, 49.0% in eighth grade, and 55.6% in ninth grade. Each result exceeded the statewide rate, and each was also above the Alpine District average. Ninth-grade math was especially strong, outperforming the state by 16.2 percentage points. English language arts was modestly above the state in all grades but slightly below the district in each grade, making it the main academic area where the school could close a gap with district peers. Science was strongest in eighth grade, while seventh-grade science was 6.6 points below the district.
For parents, the school’s overall profile is solid but mixed: its latest ranking placed it at about the 64th percentile, above the middle of schools included in the comparison, though below its 74th-percentile position in 2023–2024. Math and science generally improved or held steady from the previous year, but eighth-grade math fell notably from 62.3% to 49.0%, while ninth-grade ELA declined modestly. The largest broader concern is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 30.6% in 2024–2025, compared with 20.8% in the district and 23.8% statewide. Families may therefore want to consider both the school’s strong math performance and its efforts to improve attendance, ELA, and science outcomes in selected grades.
