Summary

STEM School Highlands Ranch is a K-12 alternative public school in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, serving 1,394 students within the highly rated Douglas County School District No. Re 1. Despite its "alternative" designation, this school performs much more like an elite college-preparatory school than a traditional alternative program, with a 97.8% graduation rate that towers above the state average of 85.6% and a dropout rate that has hovered near zero.

Academically, STEM School Highlands Ranch is among the strongest schools in the region, exceeding district and state averages in every tested subject. On CMAS assessments, 70.5% of students are proficient in ELA and 61.3% in math, compared to state rates of 44.7% and 37.3%. The school's STEM focus is especially evident in high school: 59.3% of 11th graders are proficient in science — more than double the state rate — and 91% are proficient in SAT reading/writing, a 31-point leap over Colorado's average. These results also outpace its closest comparable school, Skyview Academy, which posts 56.4% CMAS ELA proficiency and 81% SAT reading/writing proficiency, though Skyview does hold a slight edge in attendance.

The school's performance has been steadily improving, with CMAS ELA proficiency climbing from 62.8% to 70.5% over four years and math from 53.2% to 61.3%. Chronic absenteeism sits at 16.8% — far better than the state's 28.4% but slightly above Skyview's 10.0%, making attendance the main area to watch. Notably, the school has maintained its academic momentum even as its free/reduced lunch population grew from 5.54% to 13.49%. For parents seeking rigorous academics paired with a genuine STEM identity, this school is a standout option that defies expectations for an alternative school.

We brought 2 kids here from American Academy.
1 was 6th, now 8th, and other was 1st, now 3rd.

AA was a good school, but stem is even better. the teachers here really are spectacular.
The admin has been amazing. They have dealt with a shooting, subsequent lose of teachers, pandemic, politics from certain parents, working on a start-up charter school, etc. With a different admin, I would imagine that they would be too distracted to really pay attention to the school. Close Quote

My daughter moved here at the beginning of this school year. We could not be more pleased! Challenging academics, kind considerate teaching staff and a wonderful school community, where tolerance & respect for one another are abundant! Close Quote

Please know that STEM only graduated its first class last spring, 2015 and about 45 students. These numbers can therefore, be deceiving and a longer term set of results will yield a better understanding overall. Close Quote
