Overall, my time at PSD is well spent. I personally go to Poudre, and most teachers I have here didn't treat it as their job, but more as their passion. I'm very interested in science and art fields and the programs are in line with that, teaching me how to code, the ins and outs of audio production, etc. and getting me ready for my first year at college. I felt almost ahead of other people I met at college. When I graduated, I knew that I was ready for the next step in my education. The AP program is great! The teachers within know what they are talking about and will help you every step of the way. Their clubs scene is good, could be stronger! There is a willingness to improve it and lots of opportunities to take initiative in that space. There is strong school spirit at Poudre High School. They also have great accommodations (emotional, thinking, behavioral, etc.) and mostly kind and friendly staff. Overall, my time is well spent.
Great school district. Offered many college classes through the community college at no cost. Teachers were good, but sometimes seemed disinterested in teaching and burned out. Options for different curriculums through the different schools and choice in was an option. Offer IB, STEM, core, Spanish Emersion, classical, and many different charter schools. Overall great experience with diversity among schools. Academically, the schools offer many opportunities for testing and improvement including offering the PSAT freshman through junior years at no cost to families. Academically, I feel prepared for college because I took advantage of college now classes throughout high school. Could have been more helpful with class selection and bringing these classes to my attention sooner in my high school years, but counselors were helpful if I went to them
With questions or concerns. Overall diverse and a great experience with peers and staff as well as administration.

While Poudre School District provides a physically safe environment and offers numerous opportunities for academic enrichment, it proves lackluster in one of the most significant aspects of personal growth: diversity. There are few (albeit sparsely populated) clubs dedicated towards representing minorities in Fossil Ridge High School, and the student body's attitude surrounding them are rarely positive. There is more to school than mere academics -- learning about the real, diverse world is something every individual will inevitably be exposed to in the "real world". In an ideal school, both students and faculty feel represented, supported and heard at both a local and administrative level.
