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.

Niwot High School has been an incredibly great school for me. It's gotten me ready for college, given me memories I will never forget, and provided me with great friends. Its extracurriculars, clubs, and classes are all top tier and the teachers are people I can trust. I really do believe that Niwot might be one of the best high schools.

I love my school it is friendly and strong academics but people have start having a vaping problem in the bathroom. That is a nation-wide thing that is happening. Also, I like that they have strict guidelines on smoking in general. Something that I like to see change is that normal geometry is so relaxed but relaxed enough that you are still getting work done and learning something.

Niwot high school is a great school with strong academics and sports opportunities. Unfortunately, schools these days place too much focus on testing and not enough on the enjoyment of learning.

Every grade has ~10-20 outstanding students who place excellently in college applications. Most honors students go to CU or CSU and are well above average there. Non-honors/traditional st...

Seeing how two sided most of the reviews are, you can deduct the conclusion that some have the greatest high school experience here, and some developers the lack of will to live after going to this school. The people who are happy here are a special select few that have rich parents that pay for aft...
