GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Hinkley is very useful when it comes to looking for help. The GEAR UP program people are super helpful, they have helped me with scholarships, looking into careers and colleges to attend. When it comes to help on things I don't understand, such as my FASFA application, they helped me throughout the whole thing. The school environment is super diverse, and super friendly. There are a variety of different teachers that all help students when they need the help. Many teachers always encourage their students to always do better and have patience for them to understand the work.

I really like the academic opportunity's offered for example IB, CCA, Honors, and Pickens. There is also resources for minorities like gear up which helps you prepare for applying to colleges and finding scholarships.

Racism and slander poison this school. The most unprofessional group of people I've worked with in my life doing anything.

This school is awful . They need either new employees or to be shut down . They told my son he has No rights . I tried to prevent something from happening and they purposely let it. This is the worst school in Colorado hands down .

They reflect this understanding through being flexible. On the opposite side, there are some teachers who...
