Fort Collins Highs School is the most chaotic and indifferent school I've ever been affiliated with. The communication between teachers and administrators is abysmal, there is a significant lack of structure and discipline of students, and inconsistent academic standards. AP students receive a lot of attention while ESL and special needs kids fall under the radar.
Great school!!!!!! Great teachers!!!!!
FCHS is by far the best of all the high schools in Fort Collins! Even though we have a wimpy mascot (by other peoples' standards ), us lambkins know how to make school a lot of fun. every assembly, there's shouting contests, homecoming week is a blast, and everyone's so laid back, and accepting of everyone. There's a lot of electives, after-school programs and activities, organizations, clubs, etc. that students can get involved in. There are also many AP and more challenging courses. You can even take some classes at Front Range Community College and get reimbursed the cost if you pass the final exam. Overall, Fort Collins High School is great, and I'll be proud to graduate as a lambkin! BAAA!!!
Fort Collins High School is great for a variety of reasons. The athletic and scholastic programs are by far the best in the city, aside from perhaps the selective IB program at Poudre High. I enjoyed going to this school, and very rarely was anyone unhappy. The staff is very polite, intelligent experienced, and they are very accepting.
I thought that it wasn't particularly challenging. But overall, lots of AP classes and activities.
Fort Collins high school isn t a high school for students that have a hard time with learning or being involved. The staff in a way makes you be involved in assembles. They don t really understand or care about what is going on outside of school. Most teachers are very unaware of what is going on in their students lives. If you have a child that is very involved this is a great school for them to go to. There are many sports team, art class and such.
