Conifer Senior High School Reviews

 
I attended conifer my freshman year and thought it was okay. It doesn't have all the language opportunities that it should have and some of the staff is a little grouchy.

I attended CHS for all 4 years of my high school career and loved it! Towards the end of my senior year, my friend and I would talk to the principal jokingly saying that we were going to send in applications to teach there because we didn't want to leave. He said he would accept us but we had to get our college education fist. Part of me wishes that I wanted to be a techer because if I was I would love to work at CHS!

I am a current senior at Conifer High School, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The people very friendly and welcoming. There is almost no violence. I always feel safe, and welcomed at Conifer. There are a myriad of clubs, and high level sport teams at conifer, and the administration is open to the creation of new ones. The academics are as challenging as the student chooses to make them, there are a wide variety of AP and honors programs. Conifer has produced many outstanding students, including a My Student My Hero award winner, and a Boettcher Scholor. The teachers are also consitently nominated for awards, and we have had My Teacher My Hero award winners, a Fulbright Teacher Award winner, and district best teachers, in every area from language, to social science, art, math and science.

After attending a private school for most of her elementary and middle school years we were a little nervous about switching to a public school. Our fears were unfounded. My daughter has had a great experience at CHS. She is now a Junior and has experienced a quality, challenging education with caring, knowledgeable teachers (not all of them of course, but most of them.) She has made great friends as well. The one area the school could improve greatly is in the area of sports. Too much emphasis is put on individual sports, and it frequently doesn't allow students to experience more than one activity at a time.

I was very dissappointed in Conifer High School. I transferred my last child out of the school. Having lived in the area for a long time I had great hopes in Conifer High, when we finally got our own High School, and weren't part of Evergreen anymore. The dynamics weren't what they should be. Some of the teachers lacking in motivation, leadership problems. Many of the students not focused on what was important such as academics, I saw a lot of harrassment of students by students, more than what I hear happens at other schools in the district. I hope the new changes in staff will help get the school on the right track, just too late for us.

With many recent changes in staffing and having two students over the course of 9 years(with a year in between) Conifer is a great school. It is not always the most traditional school spirit filled place but the academics, sports, and activities all seem to work hard and achieve great things. There are many great students, faculty, and other staff members at the school who provide for a great learning environment.

Conifer has good academic programs. Good AP courses are available with good teachers. Languages are limited to spanish and french. My son has only witnessed one case of Bush bashing in the classroom - it was by his Biology teacher. My daughter participates on the brand new girls lacrosse team which was formed by combining with Evergreen High School. There is good parent involvement in all Conifer area schools. Conifer is unincorporated Jefferson County, there is no parks and rec district. The schools are one of the few things we have to bring people together.

Conifer High School is a decent school for alumni or any other attendes. The school has a very good football team, and also a remarkable sport record. However academically, you are limited in programs somewhat, you have your core classes and a some electives that aren't in-depth compared to say Arapahoe ones. A Myriad of the teachers are very young, some just even graduating, so it's hard to say about the experience level, which could be lacking for many. Finally, this school does have some of the brightest students and most comforting environments at times, however it's still a solid school if your wanting something in a local neighboorhood.
