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.

Empower Charter is an absolutely amazing school. My sons have attended this institution for a long time and the older one is about to graduate from 8th grade. The principal and staff truly care about the students and will go above and beyond in order to help students succeed not only academically but in every area possible which they proved during the pandemic. The principal is very hands on and involved with students and in the daily operations of this school. He is at the gate with other staff members to greet and welcome students every morning.Parents receive regular communication and notifications about what is going on within the school community. My children love their teachers and they enjoy going to school. They continue to thrive in this environment and as a parent I feel at ease knowing that at Empower they are in good hands while away from me.

My child has been attending this school since kindergarten, and I can say that they have been very supportive, both academically and socio-emotional development, as he thrives as a scholar. The administrative staff and teachers are very welcoming and offer an array of supports, whatever the need may...
