We are pulling our children from this school based on several safety issues experienced in the first weeks of the 2023 school year. Administration here is either unable or unwilling to help, and we don’t feel safe sending our children here any longer.I can’t help but think they’d benefit from focusing more on discipline, safety and supporting troubled students, and less on DEI.Sadly this seems to be a trend at CO public schools. Trouble makers are coddled and good kids are sacrificed.

Have had a TERRIBLE experience at this school. Bullying behavior is truly out of control. Student culture is really sad.

I am the parent of an excellent student at CCHS. I recently reviewed the data on where this year’s graduating seniors will be attending college, and I noticed that only a couple of students are going to Top schools. For a high school of this size (more than 3700 students) , that is not acceptable. The data from previous years shows the same pattern.This has also been my experience with my own child. It seems that the school is not interested in investing in the success of its highest-performing students, nor is it truly partnering with their parents. Instead, the school appears to follow more of a “no student left behind” philosophy.My suggestion to the principal would be to personally ensure that the top students are paired with the strongest teachers. Teachers should also be evaluated, in part, based on their success in preparing students for admission to top colleges.My child is enrolled in all AP and honors classes, yet he still has some mediocre teachers—some who do not teach effectively and others who are frequently absent during the school year. This is not the level of instruction that high-achieving students deserve.The principal should also meet with the parents of these top students and involve us more in supporting their academic success.
