Frontier Charter Academy

• Greeley-Evans School District 6, CO
• K-12
• 95 reviews

Senior: Situated in the dismal educational hole that is Greeley District 6, Frontier's education is second to none. There are a decent amount of sports and many extracurricular, and most of the teachers genuinely care about helping the students. The small school environment gives lots of one-on-one time with teachers and the ability to form close relationships with many of your peers, but can at times feel claustrophobic and judgmental. Overall, Frontier is one of the best high schools in Greeley.

Windsor Charter Academy Middle & Early College High School

• Weld County Reorganized School District No. RE-4, CO
• 6-12
• 8 reviews

Senior: I liked Windsor Charter Academy, the teachers were nice and professional and the Aims professors are good at preparing students for college. The athletics aren't are good for a small school. The internet access is highly restricted which may be seen as protective but it blocks even educational sites if the topics are controversial.

Union Colony Preparatory School

• Greeley-Evans School District 6, CO
• 6-12
• 54 reviews

Senior: Union Colony Preparatory is a wonderful school that provides tremendous opportunities. I am getting ready to graduate with my Associates of Science from a community college at the same time as my High School Diploma. This was only possible because of the support of the teachers, counselors, administration, and resources that were available to me there. Overall, Union Colony provides a quality education for students who are willing to put in the effort.

Platte Valley High School

• Platte Valley School District, CO
• 9-12
• 47 reviews

Junior: Platte Valley High School is a small public school in Kersey, Colorado. I had the choice to attend Platte Valley or a bigger school in Greeley. I wanted to be able to be a part of student council, various clubs, and sports while still having time to spend with my friends. What made me decide to go to Platte Valley was the "home town" feel. The teachers and students were very kind and welcoming and I knew that I had found the right school to spend my next four years. I have since enjoyed becoming the vice president of the student council and qualifying for nationals in FBLA. I love being able to know every student in the school and I have grown tremendously as a person and student. The teachers go above and beyond for their students and I would not have wanted to attend a different school.

Eaton High School

• Eaton School District, CO
• 9-12
• 123 reviews

Senior: I have loved my experience with this school because the environment is so comfortable. Teachers are very helpful, caring, and understanding of their students. All students mostly get along with each other and since this school is very small, everybody knows each other which is a nice thing. I know some schools that have a lot of students don't know half of their peers, which I think is sad because it's a good thing to have recognizable faces walking down the hallways other than seeing a face in which you don't know their story too. We have all grown as a family and great memories have been made in this small community. I will forever remember such a great group of people and I will cherish all the memories made.

Early College Academy

• Greeley-Evans School District 6, CO
• 9-11
• 8 reviews

Alum: Early College Academy in Greeley Colorado provided students an amazing opportunity at no cost! Students who may not have believed they could further their education had the opportunity to get a head start and learn how college courses worked. Students were also able to build meaningful connections with peers and instructors that made the process less intimidating. As a student myself, I felt very prepared for my four year university and my transition was exciting!

Senior: All the teachers really care for you and want to help you get to walking across the stage. The environment is just super fantastic and its like another home to me. It's a safe place to be. Some things I would change are the bell schedules, but that's all. 3 bell schedule changes is a little hard to adapt to. I've had great experiences with my teachers and my peers. Great school!

Highland High School

• Weld County School District No. RE-9, CO
• 9-12
• 41 reviews

Senior: It’s a very contradictory school. Half of the teachers really care and are great about helping me out while the other half of the teachers don’t take the time to actually help or teach me. It’s not that bad of a school but the administration is notorious for picking and choosing favorites, such as the best athletes. I would like the favoritism of “good” athletes to change.

Roosevelt High School

• Weld County School District No. RE-5J, CO
• 9-12
• 158 reviews

Senior: My experience at RHS has been a great one. The past 4 years have stretched me and allowed me to grow in many ways. The academics have challenged me and given me insight into collegiate level education. I have also been involved in many school clubs, which have improved my leadership and teamwork abilities. The sports at RHS create an exceptional culture. We have a very rowdy student section and most of the student body goes to the games and sporting events, no matter where they are. One thing I would improve about RHS is the college readiness. The academics themselves are very preparatory but the school counselors and the college readiness programs are not the best in preparing for college. Many students, myself included, have to apply for colleges, scholarships, and plan for our futures by ourselves with little aid from the school. Everything else about Roosevelt is great and if I had the opportunity to go back, I wouldn't pick anywhere else to go to school.

Briggsdale Undivided High School

• Weld County School District RE-1, CO
• 6-12
• 22 reviews

Sophomore: I graduate in 2019, so my experience isn't over yet. But Briggsdale Undivided High School is an amazing school. We are very small, our grades are preschool to twelve grade. Everyone knows everyone and it's absolutely wonderful. The little kids have more of an opportunity to look up to you because there isn't as many people as there would be in a regular public school. The staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. I'm not kidding when I say this, but we are like "one big happy family." I can't wait for many more years to come!

Senior: I’ve experienced a lot of great things at Greeley West High School over the school years. Teachers were nice and respectful to each other and also to their students ideas and opinions! Greeley West has a diverse groups of people and culture! In academic wise, teachers are supportive and care. Not only to get there job done by teaching, they care about what you learn and they look into what you’re struggling and give their time to students who need extra help. To me, attending school there is amazing.

Valley High School

• Weld County Reorganized School District No. RE-1, CO
• 9-12
• 112 reviews

Senior: Valley High School is a very nice school to attend. It offers a lot of college classes, and advanced classes for the student to take. It also allows students, that are seniors, to work in the office as office assistants. In this school district, they have school from 8:00am-3:30pm Tuesday through Friday. The teaching staff is very nice, and the school offers tutoring after school for those who want to attend. Valley High School offers a lot of clubs and activities for the students to get involved with at school. For clubs they offer FBLA, FFA, SkillsUSA, FLK, ACE, Key Club, Student Council, Interact, Mathelets, FCCLA, LULAK, and Special Olympics. Valley Special Olympics is the best program Valley has to offer for students who are above and beyond others. Just this last year, Valley has won the Special Olympic Basketball Tournament, and recently added a new wheelchair team to the Valley Special Olympics team. All students of all kinds are welcome to join the Valley Vikings.

Northridge High School

• Greeley-Evans School District 6, CO
• 9-12
• 99 reviews

Alum: Northridge High School was the only high school I ever attended. I loved this school and I am proud to say I graduated from there. I am very thankful for the teachers because thanks to them I was prepared for college. My teachers were always willing to help me in any way they could in order for me to be successful. At Northridge I was a member of two college readiness programs that helped me with college applications and scholarships. Aside from academics, Northridge gave me the best high school experience. Clubs and sports were a thing that most the school were involved in and this helped us build relationships amongst each other. Something unique about Northridge is that we were the only high school in town with a JROTC program. Also, we were one of the top schools with the most Daniels Scholars! Personally, my experience at Northridge was a good one. I always had the support I needed and graduated feeling ready for college.

Weld Central Senior High School

• Weld County School District RE-1, CO
• 9-12
• 117 reviews

Sophomore: I love WCHS! Honestly, it's my favorite place to be, as my home away from home. This high school has proved to be my refuge many times over. They've always been accepting of my differences, and accommodating to certain health difficulties. There isn't much they could change, except perhaps settling the controversy surrounding our mascot by making a compromise, such as keeping our name of Rebels but changing the image we are portraying. I'll always appreciate everything Weld Central has done for me.

Fort Lupton High School

Senior: I am a student at Fort Lupton High Sxhool. I graduate this year and I will obviously miss the school and the culture that was there. One feels comfortable to be there and feels happy there. With the new improvements and renovations at the school, it makes more students excited to see what's next and what's coming up. I played sports there and I love the energy and spirt from the students. I love my class mates because one feels very hyped by each other. There are several teachers that have higher standards for us. They teach at a higher level for one to get use to college level.
