GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part about sand creek high-school is the connecting with one another, whether that be through classes or clubs. The worst part of sand creek high school is how things are regulated, I feel that sometimes something is enforced, while the same thing isn't. If I could, I would change how things are enforced, I would make it so the things that need to be enforced, are enforced.

Loved the environment where I could grow into a successful individual, so much support given for many students from staff and faculty. Participated in many extracurriculars so I could get to know others better, definitely helped with connecting and finding my voice among the student body. Met many of my best friends here and will forever remember my experience at Sand Creek High School.

As a retired Spanish teacher, I offered to volunteer to help failing students. They turned me down. Who in their right mind would turn down such an offer?

I like the staff here. I believe the students that go here need some parenting at home.
