Summary

Eaglecrest High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Centennial, Colorado — a Denver suburb — serving 2,851 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5, a district ranked 26th of 115 in the state. The school ranks 103rd of 338 Colorado high schools (70th percentile), placing it in the upper-middle tier and third among the large traditional high schools in its area, behind Grandview High School (78th percentile) and Cherokee Trail High School (75th percentile). Its ranking has stabilized between the 67th and 70th percentiles over the last four years after a sharp dip during the pandemic year.

Eaglecrest's greatest academic strength is literacy: 74% of students are proficient in SAT Reading/Writing, above the district (71%) and state (60%) averages. Math is weaker — only 38% are proficient in SAT Math, below the district's 42%, and this gap shows up as early as 9th grade. The school's 94.5% graduation rate is especially notable given that 35.1% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — a higher rate than Cherokee Trail (21.1%) or Grandview (30.5%) — yet its graduation rate is nearly identical to both. Eaglecrest also has the best attendance record among large nearby high schools, with chronic absenteeism at 23.8%, better than the district (25.3%), state (28.4%), Cherokee Trail (27.6%), and Grandview (26.5%) — a major improvement from 29.3% the prior year.

One of Eaglecrest's most distinctive features is how well it serves historically underserved students. It earns 4-star school effectiveness ratings for African American, Hispanic, low-income, and disabled students, with rankings that often exceed the school's overall percentile. A 0.9% dropout rate also beats the district (1.1%) and state (1.6%). The primary area for growth is math, and science scores have been volatile, ranging from 15.5% to 35.4% proficiency in recent years. Given its strong graduation rate, literacy outcomes, attendance gains, and exceptional support for all students, Eaglecrest stands out as one of the more effective large high schools in the area when considering both achievement and equity together.

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
