The platte valley middle school is a BAD JOKE. The Princpal Mr Clear is a jerk that does not care about students or helping them acheive. The school Does not have air conditioning and the lunch are below par even for a school. be warned if your student is late or absent with an excuse the teachers will lower the students grade. The worst school i have every dealt with. I feel sorry for all the students and even more so for the ones that need help....because they will not get it.

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.
