School Overview
Plainview Junior-Senior High School is a small, rural public school located in Sheridan Lake, Colorado, serving students in Kiowa County. As a combined junior-senior high facility, it provides a unified educational experience for students in grades 7 through 12. Because of its remote location in the Eastern Plains, the school plays a central role in the local community, emphasizing small class sizes and a close-knit environment where students receive individualized attention from staff and faculty.

The school operates under the Plainview School District RE-2, which is dedicated to preparing students for life beyond high school, whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the workforce. Despite its modest size, the school offers a standard secondary curriculum supplemented by extracurricular activities and athletic programs typical of rural Colorado districts. By fostering a supportive and focused academic atmosphere, Plainview Junior-Senior High School strives to bridge the gap between traditional academic standards and the unique needs of a small-town student population.
