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.

Poudre High School has been nothing short of a blessing for me and the people around me in my close circle. We are a community abundant with diversity which helps me to make meaningful connections and expand my horizons. The best thing about this school to me has to be the staff because we have teachers here who actually care about the student body, and come to work everyday with great energy and enthusiasm.

Poudre is a pretty good school, it provides a lot of opportunities for students who want to go to college after by providing the most classes that offer college credit in the district, and if you apply for the ascent program you can get a free year of college at front range community college. It also focuses a lot on blue-collar jobs that don't require a degree from a four-year college.

I would rate this school as poor. The counselors rarely have time to meet with students for post graduate career counseling/college prep or guidance counseling for scheduling AP classes. When an appointment is made, the appointment is repeatedly rescheduled or the counselor is out for the day. Theft...

I cannot understand how Great Schools gave Poudre High a score of 6 out of 10. With two boys, and a few transfers, we've come across several schools. This is one od the best. The Teachers, Faculty and Support Staff are absolutely top tier. I could not be more thankful for the education they gave my...
