PLATEAU VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

PLATEAU VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Plateau Valley School District No. 50 in the county of Mesa school district, located in COLLBRAN, CO with about 129 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, PLATEAU VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

As part of the Plateau Valley School District 50, the school is situated in a scenic, mountainous area, fostering a close-knit learning environment that emphasizes strong connections between students, staff, and the local community. Because of its location, the school often benefits from a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, allowing for more personalized attention and a supportive academic atmosphere that prioritizes individual student growth.
