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 good school from the teachers to student to the classes, food, sports, there are so many different race and culture, and language. Also when you do not come to class they call your parents to let them know that their child skipped classes. You also have the opportunities to take college classes, while taking your normal high school classes.

Hinkley High School is a very diverse school in Aurora, Colorado. It has many different culture backgrounds in it and the students come from all over the world. Hinkley has classes for the foreign students who have a difficult time learning english. Hinkley is highly school spirited and is always willing to do whatever it takes to help its students get to the next level after high school.

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 .
