The four key skills we want our students to all learn throughout their time at Platte Valley is how to be a resilient learner, effective communicator, constructive teammate and creative problem solver. From kindergarten to their senior year, our students will learn about what each skill means and use these skills in the classroom.

About Us

Located just east of the Front Range in Kersey, Colorado, Platte Valley School District has roots that run deep. Generations of alumni and dedicated residents of Kersey build our strong community that helps support our mission in Pursuing Excellence for All: For Every Student, Every Day. It's what guides us as teachers, administration and faculty in all three of our schools as we serve 1,200 students in our district campus. 
 
Our faculty, many who are community members and alumni, are dedicated to the success of every student. With an 11:1 student to faculty ratio, each of our students get the attention and specialized instruction they need and deserve in school.
 
Platte Valley students are successful, from Pre-K to graduation. Our students are offered opportunities in athletics, agriculture, performing arts and student leadership at a young age that allows them to compete and win in competitions state-wide. As they approach graduation, our students all finish and walk across the stage. With a 100% graduation rate in 2023 and 2024 along with six Boettcher/Daniels Scholarships awarded in the last seven years, Platte Valley graduates are prepared for the workforce. 
 
We are a community with strong held values and close community ties, making Platte Valley a great place to be.
