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.

Fountain Fort Carson High School is the second high school that I've attended, the first being Walter L. Sickles High School in Florida. I changed schools because I am a military child, as did so many of the kids that attend my current school. FFCHS has an amazing learning environment but my favorite part about this school by far is the teachers. They are genuinely care about you and your future and out of my 7 teachers, I could go to all seven about issues I'm having at home or at school. They're all so caring and kind. In addition, FFCHS offers a wide range of classes and I feel like I can explore all of my interests. The thing I believe this school should improve most is the school spirit. I don't know if this is a common occurrence in most other high schools but the kids here float around. They have no joy and energy and drift around lifelessly on their phones, and it does make me sad for the future. Overall, FFCHS is an amazing school to attend and I would recommend it to others.

This school is a really good school. There are so many academic programs and it's so open to everyone. I didn't even know about AP classes and HOSA before and the school is so well kept.

Being a senior at FFCHS I have seen the school change so much throughout these 4 years. One of the best parts about this is the chance to explore differences. You get a chance to join different clubs and participate in sports and even take part into the arts of high school. It's a great place to discover and meet new friends who share similar interests with you and can potentially create a lifelong connections. We have different pep rallies And school dances to football games and spirit weeks that all fill in the fun of high school and make it a memorable experience.

Honestly, I do like this schools. But there was a fight week not too long ago and I almost got caught in almost 3 of those fights. All together there was like 8 major flights and some that did not get physical. There is definitely a bullying problem. But there is a lot of people who have beef with o...

This is our second year at Fountain middle and we have been very pleased with our daughter‘s progress and her excelling in her accelerated classes. She enjoys going to school and enjoys the environment and teachers she has had so far.

My two sons attended this high school. They both took AP courses, which helped prepare them for college. There were also many extra curricular activity opportunities.The grading system was confusing. It didn’t seem like even the teachers could figure out how to effectively grade with the 0-4 systems...
