Central High School could work on their diversity of the school because there are some things that they do that just focus on the athletes at the school.
2/1/2025
I love their theatre program! It's been a great experience for me being a part of their shows. I don't know much else.
11/25/2023
Overall, it is a decent school, teachers are back and forth some very good and some not so much, overall, it is a pretty middle-of-the-line school. Could use much more college prep work as well and even though they have a STEM program it's not guided very well. They should assist more with it. For example, help guide kids through the capstone instead of just dumping it on them.

Great educational school that is now the FIRST School in the state of Colorado to Be STEM certified. This school is moving forward in the aspect of new educational process and what works best for students and their learning process. Things at this school are slowly starting to move towards a quality...

Send your kid to a private school, get them out of the public schools right away. I definitely will not be sending any of my family here, and will be sure to let my friends know to stay clear of this school too.
