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.

It's a very good public school, but they don't have many advanced classes in STEM. Calc 3 is the highest math class, causing me to take more math at CSU, like a few other people have done. The highest physics class is AP Physics 2, which is unfortunate. However, Rocky's teachers are amazing and the culture around the school and its sports teams is unrivaled in Fort Collins.
