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.

Great. I found places I could be interested in and scholarships that will help me get there. Now, I've applied for several and have opened my mind up to going to different universities across the country.

The grading scale (7pt scale) makes it more difficult versus other schools. That being said you have to work harder to keep your grades up!

This is a very good school for the most part, the math dept. isn't very good, the other teachers are great! The Ag dept. is incredable!! John Stahley (Ag teacher at pv) is bar none the best Ag teacher in Colorado and is respected by not only his students but the entire comunity as well!!
