As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

The administration at the high school and the superintendent need to be replaced at this school. The superintendent does not have an education background and makes decisions that aren't in the best interest of students. He also runs off good educators but the school board is clueless. The principal and AD at the high school are very much under his wing and won't admit if a mistake has been made that might ruin a student's career. Close Quote

This school has been very unfair to many students. The admin at the school and dist needs to go. If you have a certain last name you get away with a lot. Close Quote

You will find that this school does nothing to help children who struggle with school work. The worse highschool I have ever been part of. I have been in the Cherry Creek School District, as well. I saw some more support there, but EHS is awful. Do your research before you send your child Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
