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 teachers are the best. The peace education was one of my favorite aspects. The small school meant a tight community that was incredibly supportive and very open to lgbt+ kids. I miss it a lot. Can't wait to visit.

I've been going to Compass since seventh grade and can generally say that it's been a good experience. The interactive work and teacher's commitment to students is unlike any other, but the amount of activities and curriculars are definitely on the smaller side. Would recommend to any student who wants to develop closer connections and learns better in an interactive environment

The school fosters independence, individuality and creativity while conforming to the state requirements and county/fed norms required of all public schools, with regular testing on the same schedule as JeffCo. I feel our child is on track or even ahead of his peers in other schools because of the a...
