Summary

Evergreen High School is a public high school serving 909 students in grades 9–12 in Evergreen, Colorado, and is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1. For the 2025–2026 school year, Evergreen High School is ranked 14th out of 338 Colorado high schools, placing it in the 96th percentile with a 5-star rating. This is not a one-year fluke: the school has earned 5 stars every year since 2015–2016 and has never ranked outside the top 22 statewide. Among nearby schools, Evergreen is the clear leader — Conifer Senior High School ranks 49th, Chatfield High School ranks 57th, Golden High School ranks 68th, Green Mountain High School ranks 110th, Dakota Ridge Senior High School ranks 119th, and Clear Creek High School ranks 167th.

Evergreen's test scores are dramatically higher than district and state averages. In the most recent data, 88% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT reading and writing section, compared with 70% for the district and 60% statewide. SAT math proficiency was 68%, versus 42% for the district and 32% for the state. Science is a particular standout: 55.4% proficient on the CMAS science exam versus 36.1% for the district and 24.8% statewide. The school also graduates nearly all of its students — 97.0% in 2023–2024, compared with 84.6% for the district and 84.2% statewide — and its dropout rate has hovered near zero.

What truly distinguishes Evergreen is how well it serves all students. Evergreen High School's Hispanic students rank 3rd out of 197 schools statewide, and low-income students rank 10th out of 208 — top-10 results in each of the last three years. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 10.7% is the lowest among nearby comprehensive high schools. The one metric to watch is chronic absenteeism at 24.4% — lower than most nearby schools, including Conifer Senior High School at 36.3% and Golden High School at 31.5%, but still meaning roughly one in four students misses significant school time.
