Cherry Creek High School

10 out of 10 Rating for schools with lots of clubs for a diverse set of students. Located in Denver Tech Center (DTC) as well as The Cherry Creek State Park being across the street as well. Accessible by Cherry Creek Damn Road or off Belleview from I25 or South Yosemite near I225.

This review is limited to the Cherry Creek HS Winter Concert that the CCHS students put on each year just before the Holiday break at the Fine Arts Theatre on campus. So. .. if you aren’t interested in music at this level, please read no further.
If you are interested, then «this level» is not even accurate. These kids were fantastic! Each Concert segment (Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble) played three pieces and each time they had the entire audience on their feet clapping. So, yes, there were a lot of proud parents there. .. a full house even. .. on the night of a big home Bronco game no less. But they had reason to be proud. .. these were not «get-​a-​music-​credit-​out-​of-​the-​way» musicians, „ these were musicians who know their craft. I would lay money on a large percentage of them going on to some field of music. They were that good. And you know what that means? They were blessed with excellent music instructors.
It was a night of music that I won’t soon forget. These kids are our future and I couldn’t be prouder. And, no, to answer your question. .. I am NOT related to a single one of them. .. but I am super proud of their musical ability.
If you have the opportunity to attend their next concert. .. do they have one in the Spring?. .. don’t miss it.

Cherry Creek High School: Way over rated. Most kids have upper middle income two parent professional level house holds. Many kids have private tutors. Cherry Creek High School, and the district for that matter, pats themselves on the back on their high achievement levels but really this district is no different than any of the other union driven school district. Kids are achieving because of outside help and their socioeconomic household make-​up — not because of anything special or exceptional the Cherry Creek Schools are doing. My experience is that far too many of these teachers are very disorganized, don’t care and often don’t know how to teach. They talk about parent involvement, but what the really want is for us to make cookies for the PTA bake sale and work the after prom party. How can I help my kid with a demanding homework schedule when the teachers can’t even communicate in advance what they are doing in class. When I went to college, I knew three months in advance exactly what was due and when. I would REQUIRE all teachers to send a blast-​email to all parents per class on Friday afternoons telling them exactly what assignments are due and what quizzes, etc. will take place for the next week. How hard is this? Much like Kaiser Health Insurance, unless you become a squeaky wheel or have money for a good tutor, well then GOOD LUCK. The animals (teachers) run the zoo here like most public schools. I had a principal once tell me in frustration «my hands are tied.» I’ve always wondered why the school district never solicits feedback in some formal sense from its customers (parents and students) on how they feel about the services they are getting? Do they have any quantitative feedback data on what parents and students think? I highly doubt it. I don’t think they want it because it would shake up their safe little world. I see solicitations for customer feedback all over the place now days and even from other government operations — but not the schools — I guess they know what’s best for us. Interestingly, before I had kids in public schools, I would have voted with no reservation for a school bond. Now having been a parent of kids in the Cherry Creek Schools, I will not be voting for any school bond election until I see some real change. I am not holding my breath!

Wonderful school. Union, Yosemite, and Dayton can get pretty freakin’ backed up though. I have enjoyed four years of events, meetings, and school spirit.
Go Creek! Go Bruins!

Class of 20 o fo gangstas! They really do a decent job preparing you for college, I mean my bachelor’s degree was easier than Creek!

Class of 2001! I’m a very proud graduate of this high school. It’s large campus layout helps high schoolers get accustomed to what being on a college campus is like. Plus, it’s a good way to burn off your fast food lunch you probably scarfed down during lunch period. Enthusiastic staff, fantastic teachers, and a quality education. My favorite classes were in the art building. Huge art rooms, fantastic theater (which professional companies would sometimes rent out), music and choir rooms. Such a fantastic building with student artwork hanging on the walls.
I left this high school very prepared for college because I had teachers that challenged me and expected me to always bring my A-​game. Go bruins!
