Pleasant Grove High School

Pleasant Grove High School sits just outside Texarkana proper, serving a tight-knit community that takes real pride in its schools — and the numbers back that up, with strong scores across English, math, and science that land it among the top fifth of Texas high schools. Families who want a smaller-district feel without sacrificing academic rigor tend to find a good fit here, especially those who appreciate a school where students aren't just a face in the crowd. The Texarkana area straddles the Texas-Arkansas state line and has a distinct regional identity — part Southern charm, part mid-size city practicality — and Pleasant Grove's corner of it feels like the kind of place where community and school life are genuinely intertwined.
