Summary

Conifer Senior High School is a public high school in the mountain community of Conifer, Colorado, serving 819 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1. The school consistently ranks among Colorado's top high schools, placing 49th out of 338 schools (86th percentile) in 2025–2026 with a 4-star rating. Its graduation rate of 97.7% far exceeds both the district (86.7%) and state (85.6%) averages, and its dropout rate of 0.4% is near zero.

Conifer is particularly effective with students from low-income backgrounds, who ranked in the 91st percentile statewide with a 5-star rating. Science proficiency is a clear strength, with 47.1% of 11th graders scoring proficient on the state science test, more than 15 points above the state average. Nearby Evergreen High School, just 6.5 miles away, ranks higher overall (14th in the state) and posts stronger test scores, but Conifer's graduation rate slightly edges out Evergreen's 97.0%. Even compared to D'Evelyn Junior/Senior High School—ranked #1 in the state—Conifer's graduation rate is competitive, and its results for low-income students rival those of that top-performing school.

However, Conifer faces a notable challenge: 36.3% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, well above the state average of 28.4% and up sharply from 27.2% the prior year—surprising given the school's strong academic outcomes. The school's statewide rank slipped from 30th to 49th, and SAT reading and math proficiency dipped modestly. Gifted and Talented students ranked in the 62nd percentile statewide, suggesting the school may not be fully challenging its highest-ability learners, and male students trailed female students. For families seeking a high-performing, equitable school in a mountain setting, Conifer remains a compelling choice—but the attendance trend is worth monitoring.
