North Grove Elementary School

That review was fake dorian and shelton are amazing.

Pleasant Grove Elementary School has the best services for developing good students, athletes, and citizens. They deeply care about the well being if each child. Principal Trael Kelly is perhaps the best Principal in the country and should be given a nobel prize for his outstanding work in the community.

Not much diversity when my child went. They accused my husband and I of smoking marijuana. My son loved getting ready with his father and wore cologne just like him. I told them what they were smelling was cologne and stopped allowing my son to wear it. He didn’t understand why he wouldn’t have it anymore and I felt terrible that he couldn’t express himself. An incident happened where I received a call saying he kicked a teacher in the ribs and she had to go to the emergency room. My son is kind and don’t talk, so of course if my son did in fact do that why? He’s not a hitter, so I’m thinking there’s something more to it, but I couldn’t ask him since he had trouble talking. My son now’s go to a wonderful school and is thriving!

The most legalistic, prideful school I’ve ever seen. There are teachers who believe for girls it is a sin to wear anything other than a skirt. If the teachers or students don’t like the preacher that the school has during chapel, they can stand up and walk out of the service in the middle of it. Those teachers who disagree with other churches can and HAVE called out other churches’ “sinful” ways during class time. Mind you, there were students in the school and class that went to that church that was called out. This school is ran by a bunch of old guys in the church who have never met an actual student once. The rules are extremely strict but at the same time, they choose when to follow their own rules. There is supposedly a “zero tolerance” bullying policy to where a student gets AT LEAST suspended if they are caught bullying but it’s false. If you are being verbally or even physically harmed, the high school principal will just warn the bully. What a slap into the face for the victim!! The school hires and keeps elderly/no longer qualified teachers because they can’t find anyone who wants to teach at the school. This leads to an extremely difficult to understand class. The high school hallways are like an underground tunnel (literally). The high school is under the church and the school is accepting too many students for such an extremely small capacity. Between classes, you are standing shoulder to shoulder, barely moving in the hallways which leads to a lot of late students. But instead of fixing this issue, the school went into debt for a mediocre lunch room. Collard shirts that need to be tucked in to uniform pants with a belt is the dress code for guys and any tshirt or crew neck that doesn’t have a big worldly logo on it with a plaid uniform skirt is the dress code for girls. Students and parents literally have to sign a “contract” with the school saying you won’t participate in “worldly” activities inside or OUTSIDE of the school. This school tries to control your entire life by saying what you can or cannot do wether you are on school property or not. There is no wheelchair accessibility for the high school so good luck if you need that. The school lunches are expensive, underserved, and low quality. A “full” lunch is $4.50 and they serve you the same amount of food as they would to the kindergarteners and the lunch ladies get mad and refuse you if you ask for a little bit more food. Don’t waste your time here.

The best school with confident kids who are learning so much everyday not only academically but socially.
