Since so many students are academically skilled, many teachers cannot provide the skill level needed for higher level classes. Many students struggle greatly with mental health, heavily related to school pressures, and cannot rely on any school resources. Although these statistics easily prove the school wide excellence, the pressure this puts onto many students is not well handled.
Along with academic excellence, the sports domination is easily reflected by over 100 state championships in the schools history.

Junior: 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.
