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.

Overall, I have had a pretty good experience at Creek. As a musician, I have benefited from the fine arts program.

Amazing school with tons of resources. It IS big, but if your kid(s) can find their interests and friend groups from the many options of clubs/sports/etc, the size is less intimidating. AP courses are very hard. Honors are challenging. Teachers are very good. Counselors are great and available. Truly is college prep. All college admissions know Cherry Creek High School.

I went to this school for all 4 years of high school. From what I saw, the only kids that get a good experience here are over privileged rich white kids that live in the surrounding neighborhoods. There’s a mass amount of homework every night and no time to do it. I lived far away and couldn’t affor...
