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.

Overall, I have had a good experience at Conifer High School. As far as small schools go, I believe it has used its resources effectively to promote academic growth and support. I feel as though the teachers are devoted to promoting student growth and support for after high school. However, the sports at conifer are unfortunate, and the administration doesn't care to help the situation.

I love conifer. It is a fantastic school, with a small community vibe, and everyone knows each other. My time in the music department has led me to many great achievements. The science department is also very good. Rest in peace Mr. Bunnel.

I have had long lasting friendships with some of the more inspiring people I have known. The school aims to keep students in a good academic standing while at the same time providing emotional support.

Conifer is not a bad school, it has amazing staff, and they put a lot of effort towards the students to help them excel. High school is hard, and it has the ups and downs. Some of the students don't take their classes seriously, and there was a drug problem there. I was there for my freshman and Sop...

This school is a WOW. The principal and staff are amazingly engaged, enthusiastic and creative. This especially in light of the current dismal state of public school funding in Colorado.
