This school has so many problems. It’s not a safe space for lgbtq+ students or students of color. The teachers are very nice and accepting but majority students are not. This school has a high depression/anxiety and drug abuse problem among the students. As it is a great school learning wise the environment is not great.

I was a student here 11 years ago. The school is great academically and the teachers care about their students succeeding in the classroom. The athletic department and staff were also really good as well. Where the school fell short in my opinion however was the acceptance by the students of newer or different kids. A large demographic of the students come from wealthier and upper middle class families with kids that have grown up together their whole lives. Being judged or flat out ignored by these kids is something I experienced throughout my years here. As a former military kid I was used to meeting and getting along with people from server a schools and background types. Many kids in this school district were the only ones I really struggled making friends with . Given , I did make some friends down the road there. By and large it was far more difficult trying to fit in with these people opposite to other schools I attended. I was a pretty easy going kid, so I wouldn’t say my time was as bad as ,compared to other kids I observed in the schools socially atmosphere. Anybody who could been seen as a weird or quiet was very obviously shoved to the sidelines of the social sphere. I first hand witness kids being physically bullied on the school campus. Belittling and negative sarcasm was held over the backs of many students who didn’t fit the the correct acceptance standard. I found people there to be a bit more mean and unfriendly. But of course there were many nice students as well. And I did make some good friendships there. But undoubtably it’s a school that is largely accustomed to having kids of one similar background. Primarily Wealthy/well off athletic white kids, who have grown up with the same friends since kindergarten.

This is an exceptional school. The atmosphere is very positive and inviting with open and approachable principal and vice principal. Lots of very caring teachers willing to go the extra distance. There is an expectation for hard work and academic excellence.

I am so sad to see this school hasn't changed since I left. Basically if you don't have cash to flash, avoid this school. I was bullied for being average. Average is balanced. Average is healthy! School staff do not support children that are bullied (I assume it's to avoid crossing the wealthy parents in the area). I still suffer anxiety & other issues after my time at Cheyenne Mountain Junior High School. A very parochial place that is ineffective at tackling bullying and breeds a culture of nastyness towards fellow man/womankind.
