Pleasant Grove Elementary School
Krista Eldridge: When I went to this school about 5 years ago, I believe it was the very best ! I recommend it for all students! Here I met Mrs. Wilson , Mrs. Jones and many other outstanding teachers! They set me out on the right foot and now I appreciate everything they have done in the past for me! Since then, I have done nothing but improved in all my skills and I thank this school for helping me!!!!!

Krista: My son has just started going to school here. He loves his teacher and is always excited to go. I had to have him stay in extended day last week and liked the security when picking him up.
