Summary

Berthoud High School is a public high school serving 722 students in grades 9–12 in the town of Berthoud, Colorado, and is part of Thompson School District R-2J. The school is smaller than most nearby comprehensive high schools, which typically enroll 1,000–1,350 students. Academically, Berthoud is a consistent top-quartile performer in Colorado, ranking 84th out of 338 high schools statewide (75th percentile) with a 4-star rating in 2025–2026 — a ranking that has remained stable over the past four years.

Berthoud stands out as the highest-ranked traditional high school in the immediate area, outperforming nearby schools such as Mead High School (64th percentile), Longmont High School (60th), Loveland High School (56th), Thompson Valley High School (48th), and Mountain View High School (43rd) on statewide rankings. On 2025–2026 state assessments, Berthoud exceeded both the district and state averages in every subject — for example, SAT math proficiency was 44%, compared with 26% for the Thompson district and 32% for Colorado, and well above the 19–40% range seen at nearby schools. Science is a particular strength: 46.2% of 11th graders scored proficient on the CMAS science test, far above the state rate of 24.8% and the highest among all comparison schools. The school also posts a strong 93% graduation rate (2024–2025) and a dropout rate around 1%, both better than district and state averages.

Berthoud serves a somewhat more economically advantaged population than neighboring schools, with 14.7% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, compared with 27–48% at nearby high schools. Subgroup rankings are strong across the board — Hispanic students rank at the 70th percentile statewide and low-income students at the 63rd — suggesting the school serves historically underserved students well. The main caution sign is chronic absenteeism: 26.8% of students miss a substantial number of school days, which is better than Loveland (33.3%), Mountain View (38.4%), and Thompson Valley (41.3%), but worse than Roosevelt High School (21.3%). While this has not yet affected the school's strong academic outcomes, it is worth watching.
