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.

Are there groomers at this school? I swear a lot of the girls show more skin than I was allowed to when attending HS. Apparently there's no dress code here. It's very disturbing

I like how hands on we are. The teacher help the students get to know the curriculum that being tought in class, and making sure we understand further. Arvada High School, has made my four years of High school fun and impact of knowledge and also kept me on my toes because I didn't know what to expect the next day for class.
