As a current student I like this school with all my friends, its a overall great school with good security, And nice teachers that make class not as boring.

I had a few amazing teachers here, and a few that spoiled everything. I was top 5% of my class, AP scholar with distinction, ended up going to a 'prestigious' college -- but I did so much of it on my own. Especially in the English/History department certain teachers (not all) will gang up on students. The malicious teacher climate is by far the most pronounced in the English department. I had a friend of a friend tell me she walked into the office one day to get help (same English class) and my debate coach was saying horrible stuff about me with my English teacher. This was a frequent occurrence, especially with the debate coach, everyone on the debate team would talk about her choosing someone to hate and picking on them mercilessly. I ended up on the short end of the stick after several of the others on the team quit for that reason. There is no recourse that can be pursued against teachers like this, and it does really harm your mental health to be framed as a bad person and be excluded in any way the teacher can find in the activity you're very passionate about. I tried to switch schools when it got too bad, but the Cherry Creek school system did not have space for me anywhere else that year. The science and math departments are much better in terms of the teachers being kind and approachable, but there is a lot of work that can be done for boosting comprehension especially in math and science AP courses. There is a very steep divide between regular courses and AP courses. If you pursue honors diploma and related honor societies / things that result in honor cords -- there is a very big push to immediately get you into a prestigious 4 year institution. I say that mostly in that you will feel disappointment from your social circle and staff involved in AP/related courses if you do not "achieve" that right out of their school, there is no actual help with test preparation, scholarships, or application essays, or how to pursue recommendations. They do not discuss college debt or alternative options to a traditional 4 year, leaving many students in a not ideal position, just so the school can boost their stats.Ultimately Eaglecrest should invest more in actually preparing students for college/career -- while also checking a few of the teachers who bully students (way worse than any student bullying, and one time a girl literally threatened to knock me out because I was talking too loud in the hallway, that is whatever though in comparison lol)

I went to this school for 5 years, and It is AMAZING! Other reviews from parents say this school is not good, but in my experience, I have had nothing but great memories with teachers and students I cherish. 8 years later, I'm still in contact with some teachers and friends. I don't know what I would have done without this school.The library is huge, the restrooms and facilities are clean, and the Before and after care are spectacular. There are a lot of new teachers and a new principal since I was last there, But ALL of the teachers when I was there were caring, kind, and helped when you needed it. I was never bullied once.
