Our family's experience with the PG Elementary School & the PG Middle School was not favorable. My 5 year old son has Asperger's Syndrome & ADHD. The teachers & administrative staff at the elementary school were not accommodating or helpful at all. Most of the time they just sent him to the office and asked us to pick him up, even after we developed an IEP based on a 504. The school staff did not seem willing to help beyond what they felt they had to legally. My 11 year old son was bullied continuously for two years, even after many meetings and phone communications with the middle school staff. Both of my sons dreaded going to school @ Pleasant Grove. So, after we exhausted all resources with this school, we moved them to Texarkana ISD where they are excelling and are happy. My wife attended Pleasant Grove ISD for 6 years in the 1980's and she has the same outlook on this school. We were expecting more from a newer school that has high school tax rates and found our satisfaction lacking.

PGHS is phenomenal! They are student oriented. They encourage students to participate and be involved in numerous activities.

This school district is RACIST. Keep your black and brown children away from this place. Send them to a school that’s not mainly white people. The white staff will not protect your children. I read reviews from other parents before my child attended PGISD and I regret not listening to them. The Asian, African American, & Latino children all get called racial slurs & when I mentioned it to a teacher that one of the white boys were doing Nazi salutes & being racist in the classroom, she said he was just playing. Nazism is never a joke. The middle school principal doesn’t believe anything your child says unless it’s caught on camera but if not she’ll call your child a liar or say your child is confused. Send your children to Texarkana ISD. They have a large and diverse population, more things to offer to keep children interested in learning, and more support for minority communities. Pleasant Grove was a waste of time and a huge regret. Never again in life will our children touch that school district.
