Eaglecrest High School

Summary:

Eaglecrest High School is a public high school located in Centennial, Colorado, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 3,093 students. It is part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5, which is ranked 28th out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eaglecrest High School stands out for its diverse student population, with 55.8% of students being non-White, which is higher than some nearby schools. Academically, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, particularly in reading and writing. For example, in 2023-2024, 71% of 11th-grade students at Eaglecrest were proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, compared to 70% for the district and 58% for the state. The school also ranks highly (top 10 in the state) for African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners. However, Eaglecrest's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 51st out of 255 Colorado high schools in 2015-2016 to 111th out of 349 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other high-performing schools across the state.

Eaglecrest generally outperforms the nearby Overland High School and Marvin W. Foote Youth Services, both of which are part of the Cherry Creek School District. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the district, such as Grandview High School and Cherokee Trail High School, which have stronger academic outcomes and higher statewide rankings. Additionally, Eaglecrest's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (around 30%) suggests the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to some of the academic challenges it faces.

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.

Open Quote 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

Open 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

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.
