Summary

Platte Valley Middle School is a public middle school located in Kersey, Colorado, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 262 students. The school is part of the Weld County School District No. Re-7, which is ranked 39 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Platte Valley Middle School has consistently performed below the state and district averages in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts and Math were 43.3% and 20.1%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the low-socioeconomic status students performing relatively well, but the male and white student populations struggling. Additionally, Platte Valley Middle School has experienced higher dropout rates and chronic absenteeism compared to the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Severance Middle School and Windsor Charter Academy Middle School, Platte Valley Middle School generally performs worse academically. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 38.78% to 56.87% in recent years, may contribute to the challenges it faces. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has struggled to implement effective and sustainable strategies to improve student achievement.
