Great school with lots of opportunities. The music program is excellent and there are a lot of opportunities to get involved. Students are supportive of each other and the school fosters a caring environment. The administration could improve, there are some policies that are not effective in disciplining students. Most teachers are awesome and find ways to connect with students. There are clubs, sports, and activities for anyone who wants to be involved. There is also an excellent work-based learning program for students who want to get credit for their jobs, but support for students applying to college is very limited (counselors are not trained, and there are very basic seminars available to students for applications). This school is the oldest school in Fort Collins, and so there is a lot of history and traditions.
I lived in 4 different states prior to moving to Colorado, so I've been to two elementary schools and two middle schools. Fort Collins High School is the only high school I've attended, but I love the environment. There are many internship opportunities, clubs, classes, sports, and music events. I'm really involved with my school with band, science, AP classes, clubs, sports, internships, and activities. I have had a good education along with a good connection with my teachers and peers. Since I've attended different schools in other states, I think I can say FCHS has been my favorite school and it's a welcoming, fun, and diverse learning environment with opportunities for everyone.
I enjoy school, although it gets a little difficult. Some teachers are really wonderful but there are teachers that are okay. I believe or i made the observation that the majority of students that are scared to get critiqued by a teacher are more likely to skip school. I believe that the teacher runs the school. Depending on the teacher and how the other students act. Having to go to high school should be fun. Some teachers should let the students take a brief. I know school is important, but I prefer to have fun and learn rather than to be bored and not pay attention to the teacher will talking. The teacher should make it fun for the students. The way that a classroom is taught is okay. Some teachers don't really have good handwriting and if makes it difficult to take notes and later use them to take a quiz. Overall my experience in high school was okay. I had many problems paying attention but when I was able to I would pay attention and still have fun
