Cherry Creek Charter Academy

Cherry Creek Charter Academy serves 571 students across kindergarten through eighth grade in Greenwood Village, Colorado. As a charter school, it earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with an academic subscore of 9.9 and a growth score of 9.4. Those marks carry real weight: the school ranks #11 of 1,815 public schools in Colorado, outperforming 99% of schools statewide.

The position within Greenwood Village is equally unambiguous. Cherry Creek Charter Academy sits at #1 of the city's seven public schools. Among all Colorado elementary schools, it ranks #9 out of 1,006 — a standing that reflects consistent output across a broad grade span rather than a single strong cohort or favorable circumstance.

A student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1 across grades K–8 supports more individualized instruction than most public schools can offer. The KG–8 structure itself is worth noting: students stay within the same academic environment from kindergarten through middle school, reducing transition friction and sustaining the kind of long-run growth the school's 9.4 growth score reflects. For parents comparing high-performing options in the Denver metro, this school's statewide rank is hard to dismiss.

Cherry Creek Charter Academy is a charter school — a publicly funded school that operates with more autonomy than traditional district schools. Charter schools often have distinct educational models or specialties. Parents should understand the school's specific mission, enrollment process, and how its approach differs from nearby district options.
