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.

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.

They have been very helpful towards the beginning of my journey after high school. Additionally, they have pushed me to be the best person I can be both academically and socially.

Arapahoe High School encourages academics and sports much more than they do art but they still embrace that aspect of the school. The school is a safe place physically and most people tend to take honors or AP classes but the push the school has for students to go to college is strong sometimes pushing when not needed.
