Platte River Academy

In 1997, Platte River Academy opened its doors to 250 students in grades K-6. We now serve nearly 500 students in grades K-8. Platte River Academy is a successful school for three reasons: our exceptional staff, our involved parents and our hard working students. We are fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated staff to meet the needs of every student that passes through our hallways. The success of the school is due to everyone that works here from our instructional aides that go above and beyond their required duties, to our facilities manager that takes great pride in keeping our school safe and looking great, to our teachers that spend countless hours nurturing, teaching and inspiring our students, and to the conscientious office staff and administration. Our parents volunteered over 19,000 hours to the school last year. Accomplishments included many “unseen” duties that are vital to the success of PRA. Parents help keep our kids safe by working carpool no matter the weather. Parents are key in assisting with serving hot lunch, selling milk and cleaning the gym after lunch. The PRA PTO is another example where parents can volunteer their time in order to support the students and staff at the school.
