Poudre High School

I would rate this school as poor. The counselors rarely have time to meet with students for post graduate career counseling/college prep or guidance counseling for scheduling AP classes. When an appointment is made, the appointment is repeatedly rescheduled or the counselor is out for the day. Theft is rampant at this school, and minimal effort is made by administration to recover items such as a stolen winter coat or lunchbox when they are taken from the classroom. No, my student did not "lose it". He excused himself to use the restroom, and when he got back to class his winter coat had been taken from his chair and no-one "knew where it went". The deans are overwhelmed by the shear volume of misbehavior that occurs on a daily basis. These are good people who want the best for their student population but cannot keep up with demands for their time.

I cannot understand how Great Schools gave Poudre High a score of 6 out of 10. With two boys, and a few transfers, we've come across several schools. This is one od the best. The Teachers, Faculty and Support Staff are absolutely top tier. I could not be more thankful for the education they gave my son.

My daughter attended Poudre High School as both an IB and later an AP (with one IB class) student. The school allowed her to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. In her case, she concentrated mostly on theatre which she absolutely loved at PHS. The teachers she had were for the most part very dedicated to their students. She received a remarkably good education and is well prepared for the highly selective college she will be attending this fall.
