My girls attended this school last school year and it was the worse school we ever encountered. The principle and office staff were absolutely unprofessional. Did not respectfully call my children by their names when I came by to check them out of school. The only thing that made it a little tolerable were their teachers.

Pleasant Grove Elementary School is a hidden gem not included on the State of Alabama's failing/ priority school list. In recent years (2019), it has become a Title 1 school. Due to this economic change in the Pleasant Grove community, the school has many events for parents to be involved in their child's education. The following activities are offered: Parent University, monthly PBIS celebrations, Robotics Club, Track Team, Newcomb Team, Bus Celebrations, After-School Tutoring, Discovery Club, mentoring opportunities that include a partnership with the Alumni Birmingham Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, The Man Project, and Girls Inc. As a parent, I've noticed over the years that parental involvement has declined tremendously; however, the PTA currently has a 7% membership of the school's total population.

My daughter started to attend MPCA Daycare when she was two years old. When the opportunity came to choose an Elementary School, my husband and I chose MPCA without hesitation. I am proud to say that my daughter is turning into a humber, educated, and God-fearing yound lady. The program & curriculum at MPCA is impeccable! MPCA is not only my school of choice for my daughter, but now the faculty, staff, and students are family. ~ Keirston S.
