Summary:

The Cherry Creek School District No. 5 is a high-performing school district in Colorado, serving 70 schools across 49 elementary, 12 middle, and 9 high school campuses. The district is ranked 30th out of 115 in the state and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several standout schools in the district include Cherry Creek High School, ranked 20th in Colorado with a 5-star rating, as well as several highly-ranked elementary schools such as Altitude Elementary, Challenge School, and Cottonwood Creek Elementary. The district's high schools have an average 84.2% four-year graduation rate and a 1.9% dropout rate, indicating strong student outcomes.

However, the schools in the district display a wide range in performance and demographics, with free/reduced lunch rates varying from 10.98% to 80.35% and student-teacher ratios from 6.5 to 25.3. This suggests the district may need to allocate resources and support differently across its schools to address the diverse needs of its student population, particularly in regards to the district's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%.
