We were fortunate to be chosen by lottery to attend this school. My daughter is in first grade and has an exceptional teacher. The Core Knowledge curriculum is rigorous and creatively taught at this school. The students are held to high standards and a lot is expected of them academically. The administration seems to truly care about the school and is very approachable. Families are required to volunteer 40 hours per year which enables the school to provide excellent programs, fundraisers and activities to the students which would not be possible without the extensive parental involvement. We have found this to be an excellent, exceptional school and feel lucky to be a part of the PRA community!

We are very happy at PRA. The administrative staff is very hands on, this includes the principal and vice principal. parental involvement is also key to this schools success. All parents must agree to 40 hours a year, which is very easy to do. Academics are fairly rigorous compared with the areas public schools. Math and science are heavy favorites here. I think you cannot go wrong choosing this school, if you can get in.

Platte River Academy is a Charter school that teaches the Core Knowledge curriculum. My son is currently in their kindergarten program. I have been very pleased with his progress. I was surprised that they are given homework daily at such a young age, but found this activity to be beneficial in helping him form a good homework habit early on. Each parent is required to volunteer 20 hours per year. I've enjoyed this, as I can be in the classroom with my son and 'listen in' on what is being taught. I like the fact that each child is required to wear a uniform. All in all, PRA is a very well thought out Charter school.

This school is one of the best schools I've ever been in. This teaching is excellent and my student learns more and more everyday. Also the teachers and principals treat their students well. Platte River Academy is one of the best schools in the world because of their teaching methods that helped students pass the CSAP with flying colors. Thank You Platte River Academy for helping my child and other children in the Douglas County School District.
