Pleasant View School for the Arts, frequently referred to as PVSA or simply PV, was a co-educational public magnet school dedicated to the arts in the Plain Local School District in Canton, Ohio.[1] Students from the district's 5 elementary schools were invited to "identify" for the school in the 3rd grade. This identification process had students demonstrate their abilities in the four designated Arts: Dance, Music, Drama, and Visual Art. The school accepted an average of 80 students per year, spanning the 4th–8th grade, though it was technically identified as a middle school.
Kaleidoscope was the school's gifted education program. It accepted an initial class of about 15 students per year, based on district-wide scores on the California Achievement Test, admitting 2–3 more students per year as vacancies allowed. Students accepted were in the 99th percentile of test takers.[citation needed]
