Summary

Chaparral High School is a large public high school in Parker, Colorado, serving 2,007 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Douglas County School District No. Re 1, one of Colorado's highest-rated districts. The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating over the past decade and currently ranks 66th of 338 Colorado high schools, placing it in the top 20% statewide. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 96.9% far exceeds the district average of 93.6% and the state average of 85.6%, while its dropout rate of 0.6% is well below the state's 1.6%.

Academically, Chaparral students shine in reading and science. On the 2025–2026 SAT, 78% of 11th graders were proficient in reading and writing, compared to 60% statewide, and science proficiency on the CMAS exam hit 50.6% versus just 24.8% statewide. Mathematics is the relative weak spot, with proficiency around 48–56%, though this tracks near the district average. Compared to nearby Grandview High School, Chaparral posts a higher graduation rate, a lower chronic absenteeism rate (19.8% vs. 26.5%), and stronger science scores.

Chaparral also performs well for students across different backgrounds, with students from low-income families and those with disabilities ranking in the top quartile statewide.
