11/3/2023
Overall great school, but very hard academics. Students on average take over 6 AP courses over their four years at CMHS. Great academic culture though.
6/27/2023
The teachers and staff are all really kind and care about your experience and education. However, as with all schools, there are certain faculty and students who are not great. The biggest downsides of CMHS relate to the weird competition that comes with the academics. Everyone is an over achiever and attempting to go to IVY leagues.
1/29/2023
My time at CMHS has been a success. I have enjoyed academic challenges, music growth and team sports during my tenure in high school. Some teachers aren't the best but thankfully I had a few teachers I could seek out for additional support as needed.

I couldn't dislike a school more. They have a policy of assigning way too much homework which they pass off as "rigorous" when in fact it only destroys these kids' chances at getting into college when they can't even remotely get all their work done because it is simply TOO MUCH. They hire young, in...

The school has quite rigorous academic programs. The school is also one of the sports power house in Colorado (with 100+ team championships), particularly in tennis. It is a public school, but the culture is more like private school.
5/14/2019
This school might look good on paper but the community and the integrity of the staff and students is not to be desired. Issues with race and drugs are very prevalent with no plan of action for equality or underage sobriety.
5/1/2019
if you what you kid to be good a the core classes and not have any expertise in anything else then go here, if you what you kid to have a normal high school life dont go here
