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.

This school provides a fantastic education, and I have been well prepared for college. I had excellent access to various classes and usually had great teachers. The school sometimes has trouble holding on to teachers, but some of my teachers have been amazing. The school was brand new when I went to it. Moreover, access to activities was limited, but it is growing. For example, I was able to participate in the school orchestra in my junior year.

Colorado Early Colleges Douglas County North is a convenient school to earn an associate's degree and high school diploma in four years or less.

I absolutely loved going to CEC for high school, the teachers were wonderful and I got an associates degree with my high school diploma. A great option for students where public school may not be the best choice

Abuse is normalized at this school. It's impossible to get through classes with all the torment.

My experience was unfortunate. I thought I was going to be challenged with an individualized schedule and teachers who care. Instead I was met with classes well below my level and staff/faculty who didn't seem to care about my well being. Additionally I was met with discrimination based on sexuality...

Srudents, faculty, and staff all work together to make CECP a great learning environment, a fantastic sense of community, and a school that is based upon ability rather than years in a chair. All students have the opportunity to graduate with an AA degree - for free. We love the school.
