Arapahoe High School Reviews

I love Arapahoe High School, for the teachers, and parents, and students. I've never seen such a large school, where everyone of all ages, works together and with one another, to make sure everyone fits in and is having a great time. This school, provides so much for their students, and it can be seen on every stdents face.

Arapahoe High School was so good for my daughter that she graduated with high honors in 2009 and got several scholarship offers to some very impressive colleges and after attending the Honors Ceremony in 2009 with me, my nephew decided to move his family from another state and enroll his children in Littleton Public Schools. His oldest boy is now a Junior at Arapahoe High School.

Arapahoe is top-notch. Principal Booth balances leadership a caring attitude. He expects excellence from both students and teachers and the high standards of AHS are reflected in its graduates and it reputation, not only in the District but state-wide as well. Parents, you will not regret enrolling your children at AHS.

My family has found Arapahoe to be a great school. The principal, Ron Booth, is a motivatiing and innovative leader. My first child graduated with honors and will finish college in only three years because of his excellent preparation at AHS. My second is thriving there too. There is something for all.

My son attends AHS and I do volunteer work a cross section of students from AHS. My overall opinion of AHS is that it's a very good school and offers lots of opportunities through general academics, AP classes, sports, music, & drama. The teachers are among the best in the state and relate well with students. My one negitive comment would be regarding the principal. I disagree with the another review regarding Mr. Booths relationship with the students. My son's experience as well as comments from other students with whom I work paint a very different picture. My opinion is Mr. Booth is more interested in stats, image, and ratings then the student. He weeds out students who don't do well and works the system to make AHS come out on top. It is a great school but credit is due to the teachers and students, not Mr. Booth.

We have choiced into AHS because of its great reputation: and it has lived up to it. Ron Booth runs a tight ship and the kids are respected. Excellent!

I love this school my daughter goes here and she always comes home with a smile on. She says her teachers are the best in the world, also very helpful, she can look to them for help without being afraid. She has also become more active with sports and clubs, Arapahoe encourages this by offering evry time of sport and club you could imagine. She also love her principal Ron Booth, he is so into knowing how his students are doing, he wants everyone to feel welcome, he does that by listening. Ron Booth treats the students as if they were his own, he feels what parents feel when a child gets a bad grade,Ron Booth is there with feelings of hope and always helpfulness for a student. Arapahoe is the number one school in the distict and the attitudes and acedemic level of the students show that 100%.
