The beauty of small... makes big things possible!
A little about our town, district, and community:
In the school district.. small means personal and innovative. As in the town, students feel close and accountable to one another. With the small class sizes teachers can provide intensive, individual attention.
Best of all.. small allows Palo Verde to use the Professional Learning Community concept, in which teachers regularly collaborate with their subject-matter colleagues, teachers in other grades, parents, and coaches throughout the district. This enables them to learn best practices, coordinate lessons, gain needed support, and achieve better outcomes.
CLEARLY, SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL. PALO VERDE IS PROOF.
Located on the California – Arizona border, right on the Colorado River, Blythe has a population of approximately 22,000 within the city limits, with a large trade area in the valley of about 37,000.
