I use to go to plateau valley a little while ago it is a very good school! the teachers are nice the princible is awesome and the kids are good. they DO give a lot of activities there are just as many activities as a school should have, my brother had just recently graduated from there and I moved away but that doesn't change anything I still think that its only short on a little bit of activities because its in a small town, but plateau valley is trying its hardest and it will grow and it is a great school to go t!!!

I used to go to school there and it was alright, but after moving and going to a new school, I realized how my former school really was out dated. They offer very little in terms of activitites for students. The classes they offer aren't very useful for future life. Well, they hardly offer anything to the students. Their sports are limited and their academics aren't much better.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Colorado used the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10. The TSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Colorado. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test. The TCAP replaced the CSAP as Colorado's state assessment program effective for the 2011-2012 school year.
