A MESSAGE FROM:

Valley Middle School

2025-2026

Valley Middle School is a school of approximately 250 students. We serve seventh and eigth grade students. We are fed primarily by Pete Mirich, Platteville and Gilcrest Elementaries. VMS also enrolls several students from neighboring districts such as Greeley District 6. About 20% of our population is here on an open enrollment waiver. Valley Middle School is the only middle school in Weld RE-1 and feeds Valley High School.   Not including custodial or kitchen services, VMS currently employs 1 a… dministrator, 1 dean, 20 certified teachers, 1 counselor, and 10.5 classified staff.The VMS campus is located in the town of LaSalle which is approximately 3 miles south of Greeley. LaSalle has a population of approximately 2327 people. While agriculture remains a major part of the local economy, the oil and gas industry has become a major source of employment.  After not testing in the spring of 2020, our scores dipped a little in 2021 but our scores returned to close to pre-pandemic numbers in 2022 and slightly improved again in 2023. In 2024 we earned nine fewer total points on the School Performance Framework but remain a  Performance  school.  In 2025 we had a small rebound and earned approximately 60 points of the School Performance Framework and remain a Performance school.
