The students here and the staff, make this a great place to come everyday. Our students are interested and interesting people, who are fully engaged in their passions and curiousity. Our staff continues to build relationships with the community to provide amazing opportunites for our students to continue to explore those interests. This school feels like more than the "3R's".

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 get bullied every day in every class, and I have a target on my back. I don't feel safe here, you can't go to the bathroom without getting high

I was homeschooling my students, but when the entered high school, they needed more than I could give them in a one school room situation. Arvada High School has been amazing with working with my students that attended this school. It was a big change and the counselors, teachers, and administration...
