Eaglecrest High School has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top 30-40% of Colorado high schools in recent years. Its students have consistently outperformed the state and district averages in standardized tests like CMAS, SAT, and PSAT. The school also stands out in its performance for specific student subgroups, ranking in the top 10-20% of Colorado high schools for African American and Hispanic students, and in the top 5% for English Language Learners. Eaglecrest High School has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.1% to 93.0% in recent years, which is on par with or better than the district and state averages. The school's dropout rate is also low, ranging from 1.1% to 2.1%.

Eaglecrest High School generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Cherry Creek School District, such as Cherokee Trail High School and Smoky Hill High School, in terms of academic performance and subgroup outcomes. However, it lags behind the high-performing charter school, Colorado Early Colleges Douglas County, in several metrics. The school's consistent performance and high graduation rates are positive indicators, but the high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.5% to 29.3% in recent years, is an area that warrants further attention and improvement.

Saturday, February 3, 2018

I'm a junior at this school and I hate it. When I came in freshman year I was super excited because i was becoming a high schooler and was looking forward to it, but the school its self messed my classes and put me in classes that I was going to fail in. I have and iep wich means I have some sort of disability and I get help from the schools for it but the support I was suppose to have was non existing because my casemanager never cared enough to help me my councler was even worse and the only teacher that actually tried to help me in anything was my art teacher. and I failed most my classes because of the mess up the school its self made. But the the worst part about this school is how much the teachers and counclers don't care we littarly have so many people that don't wanna be there including my self just because of how they run the school. the only good thing abou this school is its sports because most the money go towards the spots because the sports are amazing so are the coaches. Another reason why I hate this school is all the people in it start way to much rumors and don't treat each other with respect because all of them are so self centered because the school sucks so bad that they think its ok to ruin so many peoples lives I haven't learned much from this school all I have learned is how to hate high school and not have fun with the school at all because the school has done nothing but f me over with how the teachers treat students and just the way the enviroment is. And the hallways are so crowded that I get elbowed in the face about ten times each passing period. I don't not recommend you to send any o your children to this school because they will always be stressed and never wanna do anything with that school. Close Quote

I have been in eagle crest for a short amount of time and I would have to say the school is a very bad school and I would never send my child there do to the fact that the teachers and students are very disrespectful and does not care about anything or anyone. If you don't want you child to be miserable I strongly advice you to send you child somewhere else. Close Quote
