Summary

Renaissance Secondary School is a public 6–12 school in Castle Rock, Colorado, serving 441 students as part of the Douglas County School District No. Re 1, a top-ranked district (6th of 115, 5 stars). The school has shown impressive upward momentum, climbing from 101st (71st percentile) in 2022–23 to 38th (89th percentile) in 2025–26, earning 4 stars. Among nearby schools, only Rock Canyon High School (13th) and Mountain Vista High School (36th) rank above it, while it outranks Chaparral High School (66th), Legend High School (87th), Castle View High School (96th), and Douglas County High School (130th).

Renaissance stands out for strong literacy and high-school math. In ELA, 67% of students are proficient on CMAS versus 63.8% district and 44.7% state. SAT Reading/Writing is 82% — tied with Mountain Vista and trailing only Rock Canyon's 86% — and PSAT 10 Reading is 88%, second only to Rock Canyon's 91%. High-school math is a standout: SAT Math is 56% versus 44% district and 32% state, with only Rock Canyon higher among nearby schools. The graduation rate is 97.2%, compared to 92.2% district and 84.2% state. The student-teacher ratio of 16.6:1 is noticeably lower than nearby large high schools like Mountain Vista (23.4:1) and Rock Canyon (22.3:1), suggesting a more personalized environment. Subgroup rankings are strong, with male students ranked 11th of 243 statewide (top 5%).

There are areas worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 21.9% — better than the state (28.4%) but higher than peers like Rock Canyon (12.7%), Legend (16.4%), and Castle View (18.4%). The school also shows a middle-school math paradox: CMAS math in grades 6–8 is below district averages (6th grade: 34.6% vs. 52.9%), yet by high school, PSAT and SAT math outperform the district and most peers. Additionally, 11th-grade science fell to 31.3% from 45.5% the prior year, worth monitoring. Overall, Renaissance offers a compelling small-school option with high academic standards, especially compared to Douglas County High School just 0.79 miles away, where SAT Reading is 66% and SAT Math is 31%.
