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 about CECCR is the academics. Everyone's schedules are so personalized to fit their goals. Most students are taking fully college classes by their junior year which helps with getting credits and preparing for college. The teachers are awesome and most people are really sweet and welcoming.

I had a good experience at Colorado Early College. They helped me with everything that I needed to be ready for college. The only problems are the lack of teachers, the quality of food, and the lack of sports at the school. Going to the school feels much more free and I think that students feel like they have more agency at the school.

We have an exchange student at CEC this year and have been very happy with the high level of learning and quality teachers provided by this school.
