Pleasant Grove Middle

Pleasant Grove Middle sits in the Pleasant Grove community just outside Texarkana, where the Texas-Arkansas state line gives the area a distinct cross-border character and a tight-knit, small-town feel. The school punches well above its weight academically, with especially strong English scores that put it among the top 10% of middle schools statewide — a real draw for families who want rigorous instruction without the pressure of a big-city district. If you're looking to put down roots in a quieter, affordable corner of East Texas while still having access to a genuinely solid public school, Pleasant Grove ISD is worth a serious look.
