Custer County High School is a small school with only about 200 students. It is located in the Podunk town of Westcliffe, Colorado. Since it is a smaller school and community, everyone one knows everyone and there is not much diversity. The facilities are clean, and the students who attend the school know each other very well. This school does prioritize sports over the arts, and tries to give their students the best that they can afford.
