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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Manitou Springs High School is a very small school with about 500 total students. The school itself is pretty boring, and not much happens or changes there. The academics are ok, they offer a few AP classes but no IB classes. The counselors are pretty much useless so you have to figure out everything on your own. The students themselves are pretty cool. A lot of them have gone to school together since kindergarten, so they're all pretty close.

Manitou has great schools and because its a small Community you really get to know the teachers and staff. You form great relationships with your peers and teachers and have many class options.

Class selection is very limited and has reduced significantly...
