"Bad experiences! Unimpressed all around... teachers, students, academics, and school spirit/pride alike. The clubs as well are extremely hard to be accepted into. Kids are very "cliquey"."

"My son is a senior at Fossil Ridge High. This school has so many programs to prepare your child for life after high school. Furthermore, the teachers are compationate about their students, and teaching in general. The courses of study are above average to say the least, and the homework load is tremendous. However when needed any one teacher will offer any given student that one on one attention when needed.. Fossil Ridge High have amazing programs in school, and after school they have labs, and all types of other sources of extra help if a student is struggling. I came from Calvert County, Maryland, and in that state the "schools", were rated #2 in the entire state. However, Colorado/Fort Collins has higher standards for the children, thus giving them am edge in the "real worl", whatever it is they decide to to. Fossil Ridge High School is absolutely an amazing school that cares about there students. My son is an A-B student with very difficult classics like botony,calc etc. These course are what I am taking in college at 39 working on my Bachelors Degree, and he is only a senior. Pretty amazing school."

"My son started as a freshman at Fossil Ridge High School this fall. I am so very impressed with this school. One of the things that makes it unique is the Advisory class that all students are required to take all fours year that they attend Fossil Ridge. This students in the class stay together with the same teacher for four years and graduate together as an Advisory class. In this class they are taught about life after high school and how to survive it. They learn about college searching, job searching, career advice, resume writing, giving back to the community and many other very useful life skills. What a great school!!!!!"
