Colt Pride runs strong at Deer Valley Middle School, a public school for grades 7-8. The school strives to remove limits so learners can become leaders. As a member of the Deer Valley Unified School District, the core curriculum centers on science, mathematics, language arts, and social studies. Various electives complement learning by expanding the student’s understanding of the community. A Social-Emotional program educates students and their families about mental wellness throughout school life. A Safe Schools plan is in place district-wide to create a positive and safe environment for all students to attend. Gifted Programs are available for accelerated learners. Special Education is onsite.
Competitive sports are central to campus life. Both boys' and girls' sports meet seasonally throughout the school year to enhance the body and mind. Art club includes crafts and painting, Student Government enhances student life, and the National Junior Honor Society celebrates academic excellence and prepares students for high school. Clubs aid in learning for the more hands-on students. The Deer Valley Unified School District maintains a continuous improvement plan and parents are encouraged to provide feedback on how to make the community space of Deer Valley Middle School more competitive and welcoming for neighborhood students.
