Summary

Loveland High School is a large public high school in Loveland, Colorado, serving 1,354 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Thompson School District R-2J. The school earns a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 149th out of 338 Colorado high schools, which places it in the 56th percentile statewide. One of its biggest strengths is keeping students on track to graduate: Loveland High boasts a 93.8% graduation rate and a 0.7% dropout rate, both better than the district and state averages. Graduation rates have climbed steadily over the past five years, from 88.5% to 93.8%.

Academically, Loveland High shows a clear split between literacy and math. In reading and writing, students perform at or above state averages — 68% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT Reading/Writing section, compared to 60% statewide. Science scores are also competitive, with 33.1% proficient on the CMAS science test versus 24.8% statewide. Math, however, is a persistent weakness: only 25% of 11th graders scored proficient in SAT Math, well below the state's 32%, and the school's math scores have been declining for four straight years. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern at 33.3%, above the state average of 28.4%, though it is lower than nearby Mountain View High School (38.4%) and Thompson Valley High School (41.3%).

Within Loveland, Loveland High is the strongest of the three traditional comprehensive high schools, outpacing Mountain View and Thompson Valley in state ranking, SAT Reading/Writing, and SAT Math. However, it trails Berthoud High School — just 8.4 miles away in the same district — which ranks 84th statewide and posts a 44% SAT Math proficiency rate. Schools in neighboring Fort Collins' Poudre School District R-1 set an even higher bar: Fossil Ridge High School, for example, ranks 21st statewide with 86% proficient in SAT Reading/Writing and 60% in SAT Math. Loveland High offers strong graduation outcomes and solid literacy instruction, but the school's math challenges and elevated chronic absenteeism are important considerations for families.

I go to this school. We have absolutly a ton of extra-carruicular activities that all strive very well in the state and in the country. Our classes are great. We have both AP and IB courses available. Our band and choir is one of the best in the state. This is overall a great school. Close Quote
