We moved to Evergreen and picked this school over EHS and CHS. We liked the small size and welcoming atmosphere. After having my kids live in a bubble in our previous school district, it was also refreshing to have them exposed to a wider variety of socio-economic backgrounds. My kids have a challenging schedule with honors and AP classes. My junior is in the business incubator class which is only offered at a handful of schools in CO. Both kids do many sports and have integrated into the school in little time even thought they moved here at 7th and 9th grade. Not as many kids apply to competitive colleges at this school, which will make it easier for those who do as opposed to more competitive/larger high schools. As parents, we have been able to get to know the teachers and administrators easily and feel like our opinions are welcome. The only drawback to this school is that the size prevents them from offering more sports and classes. While I was initially skeptical about the 4 day week, it is fantastic. The instructional time is still the same (longer days and year), but the kids have the flexibility to work, catch up on school work, do sports or go skiing/travel on Fridays. We all love the 4 day week now! This school is a little gem in the mountains. Fantastic facilities at the HS as well. Highly recommend. We are glad we traded our very large uber competitive school district for CCHS. It will allow your kids to thrive and actually enjoy their HS experience.

great school and teachers for our kindergartener

My granddaughter enrolled in “preschool” 2022-2023 but it was more like a daycare because her class has 2-5 year olds. She has never been away from her mom, and cried everyday that she went. She did not seem to be learning anything. It was a stressful experience for her and the teachers did not care if she was upset and never wanted to go. She told me that her teachers would be mean to her when she cried. One day we drove past the school, and she started begging not to go there. We weren’t there long. I don’t recommend it

The CCMS setting, staff, and location are among the best in the state. OK, so the school is small. Bonus for parents and kids. The curriculum is honors based and pre-AP. Your child can do as many or as little activities as they want. There are no rich or dumb cliques. All students are rotated through at least one class with study time.
