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.

Throughout my highschool experience, I have been a part of many clubs and activities. Our school is so small everyone can be a part of every group and activity. We are all close and civil to each other. We get along with everyone. Sometimes there is a little beef but it all works out in the end.

It is a smaller school, but everyone talks to everyone, so most people know who everyone is. You can also have a diverse friend group.

I have been taught more in my four years of a high schooler through all the tough times that I have gone through attending this school, then I have being taught. Our teachers don't even realize they're teaching us lessons when they are. I have one teacher that has taught me so many life lessons and is one of the reasons I am so adamant about going to college that I couldn't thank enough. I have never not put in all my effort into something ever since he's became my teacher and showed me everyone can do something better for the world and the best thing's come with effort.

Recent alum. Colo-NESCO is hell. Would not recommend in a million years. The district will be dead and dissolved within the decade.
