I want to be an engineer when I grow up and Eaglecrest produces successful kids that enter college well prepared. I love the diversity of Eaglecrest because its the only school

That is how serious EHS is about us going to class now. For the PLAN test Eaglecrest sophomores raised EHS's overall score by 1 point. Sure thats doesnt seem a lot but that is something that is rarely done in the nation. EHS exceeds national averages and yes I love Eaglecrest because I know I am getting a good education. Read less

Eaglecrest is such a great school to go to if you take advantage of all the opportunities out there. Not everyone does it but as long as your child does she will love Eaglecrest. The teachers are so great, so awesome and they do help out a lot. Diversity is what Eaglecrest is filled up with. Clubs, sports
... Read more are all there and sports don't take up the center stage. Performing Arts is awesome and just a good school to go to. Our biggest rival is against Grandview in almost all the sports and we excell. Security Guards are awesome, same as teachers, students are too. Advanced Placement classes challenge EHS kids to do their best and they do. Eaglecrest is the way to go Read less

Eaglecrest is a very good school to go to. No matter what level in sports its always competitive since Eaglecrest is in the Centennial League which is the hardest and most competitive league in the state of Colorado. Teachers are tight and we got a lot of good clubs to go to. Eaglecrest is the only high
... Read more school in the nation to fit the percentages of each race perfectly, and we've been that way for many years. Very diverse and a good school. Problem is just a lot of tardies and unexcused absence in 2007 but 2008 we've changed things around. Cheerleading, volleyball, basketball, softball is what Eaglecrest does best, football has talent but is decent. Schools very since especially the new wing. I recommend parents to try out Eaglecrest if given the chance to. Read less

Eaglecrest is an amazing school to go to. Every school has mistakes and so does Eaglecrest. Security sometimes seem to be very biased on race, but the other faculty staff are amazing. We have an AMAZING performing arts group. Sports are really good especially Volleyball and Basketball. Grandview
... Read more and Eaglecrest are the biggest rivals and its always in good fun. We have a nice variety of AP classes and we have amazing teachers doing a program in Sci-Tech. It helps people who want to pursue a career in engineering & other fields of interest and some people end up working for Lockheed Martin, Disney Imaginary, & other big name companies. Sci-Tech is amazing and was really fun. And the staff teaches with high standards. They hold many 'labs' that are usually after school that help kids that want to raise their grades up. In sports we have Academic Hallway which are for kids that have F's. The kids mostly raise their grades up and are still able to participate. Read less
