GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Platte Canyon High school was an interesting experience, to say the least from good teachers to bad teachers to meeting people that have changed my life forever. the school itself has the typical small-town school stereotypes with people knowing everyone and their first cousin. The hardest part about bailey is getting out of bailey it seems most people come back to bailey and find a job that'll just get you through instead of looking to the future. most people who attend this school develop extremely close relationships with the people around them, naturally, they had all probably grown up in the Platte canyon school district. it creates this tight knitted bond that cant truly be described but is best known as bailey strong.

The most popular and victorious sports are cross country and track. Not many after school activities or sports are offered and the same kids do all the sports. It is very much a clique system. The clubs are not run; the Key Club and National Honor Society has no student body leader or staff guidance.

Smaller school, good facilities, competent staff that care about student performance. Very pleased with high school, not a fan of 'no homework' policy of middle school. Safe enviornment.
