Rating 4.09 out of 5 69 reviews
Cheyenne Mountain High School has amazing academics and extracurricular activity participation, but falls short in the care for student mental health and qualifications of teachers. Students constantly succeeded in and after Cheyenne Mountain with a 97% graduation rate and AP class participation that heavily outweighs that of average classes. Almost every student who Cheyenne produces participates in some sort of extracurricular whether it be sports, clubs, or student government. Along with academic excellence, the sports domination is easily reflected by over 100 state championships in the schools history. Although these statistics easily prove the school wide excellence, the pressure this puts onto many students is not well handled. Many students struggle greatly with mental health, heavily related to school pressures, and cannot rely on any school resources. Since so many students are academically skilled, many teachers cannot provide the skill level needed for higher level classes
This school district is extremely close-knit, which is both one of its best and worst features. Being in the Cheyenne Community means that you will be cared for and supported, but it is extremely hard and frustrating for newcomers to feel accepted into this “bubble,” and therefore can feel as if they are being left behind. If possible, I would recommend joining the district in elementary school or junior high. Despite this, Cheyenne Mountain is the best education in all of Colorado, and has educated me more than classes I have taken taught by college professors. It is the best in Colorado for a reason, and this is all made possible by the amazing teachers, especially the entire Social Sciences department, and majority of the Math and Science departments.
Cheyenne Mountain High School is considered a top school in Colorado
Springs, CO. I've enjoyed the faculty, staff, and students. The teachers are approachable and easy to work with. The academic counselors are knowledgeable and available to assist with college applications and letters of recommendation.
