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.

The best part of my experience being a student at Sand Creek High School is having easy access to classes that challenge me in many ways. Also having college courses available while still in high school. The worst experience at Sand Creek Highschool would probably be the amount of physical fights that occurred last year. Overall Sand Creek is a good school and people should definitely come here.

My high school experience was rewarding and I really enjoyed my time with the Theater department. During my last year of high school, I was dual-enrolled, completing my credit hours for high school and taking 14 credit hours Spring 2024. I was also a lab assistant for the Chemistry department at Sand Creek High School.

As a retired Spanish teacher, I offered to volunteer to help failing students. They turned me down. Who in their right mind would turn down such an offer?
