GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There is plenty of support for students who need it and the administration is willing to step in and make the experience as good as it can be. There are students who are not doing their jobs, but no more than many public schools. I feel it prepared both of my children well for college and was small enough for their teachers to know them.

My experience of Arapahoe has been nothing short of great. The teachers are caring and do an incredible job of reaching out to students . The school is nice and very well up kept. The principle mrs premanko does a really good job of connecting with students.

I wish we had more school participation amount the students. Nobody seems very excited to be there other than some of the staff. I also wish that we had more elective oppurtunities. Our science department is amazing and the teachers there are great.

Mobs of parents have tried to get her fired from the School Board and they still have her there. So sad. Not a school...

Many of the teachers at Arapahoe are great. They allow for corrections that truly support learning rather than just grading. The science department is amazing. The math department is not as good. Counselors are generally unresponsive and very rigid in their rules. Students' individual needs are not...

Unacceptable tyranny in my opinion. Not a good enough track record with student health.
