80% of PHS International Baccalaureate graduates earn full IB diploma

In July 2024, 192,867 students worldwide received their Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP) results from the May 2024 examination session.

Poudre High School had an 80% pass rate with 70 students testing, and 56 students earning their full IB diploma this past school year. Earning an IB Diploma guarantees a minimum of 24 elective credit hours at many universities and translates to a savings of $5,000 to $12,000 in college tuition. 

A message celebrating success and 2024 CMAS, PSAT, SAT test results

Sept. 17, 2024

Dear PSD community: 

I’m writing today to celebrate the recent release of 2024 state standardized testing results. Once again, PSD cemented its reputation as a high-achieving district by besting the state average not just by a small percentage but by double-digits in all grades and subject areas covered by CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success), PSAT, and SAT testing. 

This achievement happens so often in our district, it may not have caught your attention. But it is truly amazing and worth celebrating year after year.  

PSD again a top district in CMAS, PSAT, SAT achievement

Poudre School District is one of Colorado’s top 10 districts for math performance and top 15 districts for English Language Arts performance, according to 2024 Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) testing.  

The Colorado Department of Education publicly released CMAS results for 167 Colorado school districts and boards of cooperative educational services on Aug. 29.  

From campus visits to rockets: PSD connects students with interests, prepares them for real world 

In Poudre School District, the process of graduating with options starts long before students ever set foot in high school. 

One of PSD's three strategic priorities, Graduation with Options means ensuring every student explores their interests, finds their passions, and gets a head start on their desired career so they can graduate high school prepared to pursue whatever future they’d like. That future could include attending a two- or four-year college, joining the military, or entering the workforce with industry certifications already in hand.
