How good is Central Elementary?

Central Elementary earns a 6 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. On recent state testing, roughly 35 percent of students scored proficient in math and 36 percent in reading. Class sizes run about 23 students per teacher, which is close to the Utah average.

The school serves about 679 students and sits near the historic center of Pleasant Grove, so its boundary leans toward the older, established part of the city rather than the newer subdivisions on the edges. It is one of dozens of elementary schools in the Alpine School District.

Where Central Elementary feeds

Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want to see the whole path. Under the current Alpine School District pattern, the progression runs:

  • Elementary: Central Elementary, grades K to 6
  • Junior high: Pleasant Grove Junior High, grades 7 to 9
  • High: Pleasant Grove High School, grades 10 to 12

Because Alpine District has redrawn lines over the years, and because the district is scheduled to divide, confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder. Beginning with the 2027 to 2028 school year, Pleasant Grove joins the new Timpanogos School District along with Orem, Lindon, and Vineyard, so the district office that oversees these schools is changing even though the buildings stay put. The Alpine School District confirms the assigned schools for any specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our Pleasant Grove area page.

Homes in the Central Elementary boundary

The Central Elementary boundary sits in and around historic downtown Pleasant Grove, so the housing stock skews older and more established than the newer construction on the north and west sides of the city. Expect a mix of mid-century homes, updated older houses on generous lots, and pockets of newer infill. Because the boundary is close to Main Street and city amenities, walkability is a draw for many buyers.

Prices vary widely from block to block in this part of the city, and the mix of active listings shifts month to month, so rather than quote a range that goes stale quickly, we would rather pull a current, address-specific snapshot for you.
