1/10 people at this school are nice. the rest have to be the most rude people i've ever met. they have no respect and they are all bullies.

this school is beyond MID. everything about it is mid. mid teachers, mid students. I have been at this school for 2 years and I still get sad everytime I walk through the doors. First of all, the girls soccer team didn't have a coach for any of the teams until a week before tryouts started. I have been harrassed several times. Only last week I was called flat in the hallway by an upperclassmen. Second of all, Spanish is horrible here. My teacher has repeatedly embarrassed and called me out in class, as well as forgetting and putting F's in assignments I know I turn in. I would recommend going to Eaglecrest or Grandview because they are less mid, I have been to both, and they have better academics and athletics.

My daughter and my son visited this school, from our experience the staff and the management was very professional.

I was a student at this school. For most of my high school career, I struggled academically and mentally. I certainly was not a delinquent, yet I was lumped into those group of students, being deemed undeserving of attention or care. Because I am a minority, I was not treated with the same respect that a white student would have. Teachers would forget how to pronounce my name, which is fine as I understand that reading a foreign name can be challenging. However, purposely misspelling my name and even outright intentionally saying it wrong crosses the line. The discrimination doesn't end there either. I had a teacher say that "an asian student was not performing well in her class." I was the only oriental student in the classroom and it was absolutely humiliating. I know teachers are treated like trash, but that doesn't mean they get to treat their students like that. And if management was competent, such teachers shouldn't even be hired or kept around. If you're not a minority, I'm sure you'll have a great time at this school. Otherwise don't expect the same kind of experience you see from the glowing reviews.

I had two children attend CTHS over the past four years. I had a very positive experience! My two kids were at very different ends of the spectrum. One was a very highly intelligent child with IB studies. The other child was a good student but not honors, AP or IB. Both of my kids did well with the instruction that they received at CTHS. The IB child went on to CU Boulder and at the end of his freshman year of college, attained a 3.8 GPA in the Leeds Business School. That was how prepared he was for college!! My other son who wasn't as academically inclined, finished his last year at CTHS with a 3.0 GPA because of the interest in his education by the teachers at CTHS. I was very nervous to start my kids in a big school (for us anyway) like CTHS, but both of them did well with the instruction and class structure. We made the choice to move to this area based on the schools and we were not disappointed with the outcome. CTHS is a great school with fantastic teachers and administrators.
