Pleasant Grove High School Reviews
Rating 3.9 out of 5 558 reviews
The sports at PG were a very difficult point for me. They need to learn to appoint better coaches because basketball made it difficult for me to learn as well. Some of the teachers at PG are pretty terrible and do not care enough about their students well being or work load. The good thing is if you get good teachers it makes for a way better experience. My senior year was alot less stressful because of the good teachers that cared about their students. I think the overall worst part was the lack of real care towards our women’s basketball team and some of the teachers that made me uncomfortable.
A Pleasant Grove they don’t have many variety of classes, but the people are very welcoming, and the English curriculums really helped me out. I’ve had a good experience at the school.
This is my second year at Pleasant Grove and I am really glad I came. Originally, I was going to go to Sheldon High School but when I heard about how Pleasant Grove has better academic experiences, I knew I wanted to go there instead. Pleasant Grove High School prepares you for college since the class experience is just like a college class. PGHS also provided many different types of AP classes such as AP Psychology. AP Music Theory, and so much more. I like that Pleasant Groce High School is a nice school with an extremely nice and intelligent staff. The staff at Pleasant Grove High School is very caring and overall truly concerned for all of the students. The only thing that stops Pleasant Grove Hight school from being a five star is the lack of diversity. The school has a majority of Caucasian students but it might just be because of the area it is in. Something I would change about PGHS is, honestly nothing! The majority of the students and staff are respectful!
