Fossil Ridge High School is a high achieving and competitive public school in Poudre School District. The culture is very extracurricular and sports focused. The school is well known for their marching band, theater, and ambitious students. Everybody at the school is highly involved in many activities inside and out of school.

My experience with Fossil Ridge HS has been really positive, I've enjoyed all of my teachers and the culture the school has. I have created lifelong friends and strong relationships with teachers as well. The athletic programs are fantastic, one of the best in the state, and the activities that the school hosts are pretty good too.

Some of the best parts of FRHS were going to the sporting events. My personal favorite part was broadcasting sports with my favorite teacher. In the future it would be cool for high schools to have more unique opportunities like that for students.

Not a student, but before the game I listened to this speech about dignity and much more, only to listen to a bunch of overpriveleged white kids taunt players during the game..and wow, your refs said not a mumbling word.* Glad to see you'll are teaching them that they will reap what they sow

This school was a terrible experience for me. While I attended this school I was horrendously bullied. I could not walk down a hall without being harassed because of the way that I looked. The forms of harassment I faced were horrible. Every day I was called transphobic slurs, people would threaten...
