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.

Very high turnover of teachers. Communication between parents and teachers and the school in general is not existent. After school activities very poor. Every teacher we have had (k-6th) has been new or fresh out of school. Very slow teacher response to parent communication. No follow up with parents after there has been any kind of concern or issues brought up. Little to no follow up from Counselors.

Rocky Mountain Classical Academy strives to aid their students educationally, physically and emotionally. The environment is safe and the students are wonderful. They push their students beyond their limits so that when they graduate they are prepared for college. Class discussions are educational and encouraging. Material and resources are very convenient a helpful.

The school does nothing about bullying and the upper staff has no clue how to deal with bullying. The teachers are good but still can’t do anything about bullying. The principal has no time to talk to parents.

I have been extremely impressed with this school. My son is introvert and I was nervous about him being in such a big school but everyone has been so great and cares for him deeply. All teachers he has had helps him socially as well as in his academics.

I’m so done with this school. They don’t follow 504 plans. There’s little consistency between teaches, staff, and parents. Teachers are able to go around the back of the counselor to get out of following the 504. Their policy for absences requires a note regardless of the nature of the appointment....
