Tight knight community. Well trained staff and friendly atmosphere. At time can feel a little small. Overall good environment without too much distraction or clutter.

I really like this high school. For the most part, classes, students, teachers, all have been positive experiences for me. I would recommend this school to new students. I would definitely choose this school again if I had to do it all over.

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!!
