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.

While at Canon City High School I had a great experience. My favorite part had to be the different clubs and activities you could join, there was a club for everything and they were all accepting no matter who you are. The school makes sure all of your needs are taken care of and always strive to put the student first. The teachers are also super helpful and are always willing to help and make sure that you can pass their class with as much information as possible while having fun too.

I loved the classes, all the options I had and the opportunities I was given, I also liked how the teachers (at least some) truly seamed intent on helping me learn and grow.

I really like all of the teachers at the school and how independent we are able to be. Especially with choosing our classes based on what we pursue. I think that athletics could definitely improve by being held to a higher standard and getting more help if you want to play college sports.

poor transportation servicesIf you're outside their policy zone, which is in the city but three miles from the school , they won't provide bus service. It's pretty much "sorry you're screwed." Ridiculous policies, sorry we moved to this district, bad leadership!
