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.

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.

I liked the accepting environment and the people I met there. However, I did find there was a lack of opportunity musically and academically. It also felt like administration priorities did not line up with the interests of the staff, student body, or community.

This is far and away one of the best schools in the Pikes Peak region. The benefits of a small school filled with exceptional teachers, coaches, and staff cannot be overstated. For a school this size, where every student is seen and supported to their full potential, MSHS offers SO MANY opportunitie...
