It has been a good experience to have a small school, but my overall experience here has been awful.

I definitely appreciate this school I bleed royal blood. Some of the best years of my life took place right here in this community. Go Royals!

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.
