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.

I have enjoyed my experience at Conifer high school, I've attended the school for all four years. It is located in a small town and is very welcoming to everyone. I have learned a lot and I've enjoyed the wide range of classes you can take. There is a new yoga/wellness class that I'm taking this year and its by far my favorite class I've taken so far.

Conifer is a really unique school in that almost all students are very involved in the community. I love Conifer because of how inclusive of an environment it is. I am a work-student-athlete and know I have all the resources I need to do well in all three in addition to being involved in several leadership roles in school run clubs.

They do this with pages of surveys that the counselors force students to complete, as well as their flattering “capstone” project for seniors. This adds...

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. The principals leadership is very insightful. Opportunities for improvement are targeted based on quantifiable an...
