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.

I have been a parent of 2 Caprock Academy students for 13 years. My senior and sophomore have had an AMAZING experience here at this school. I would not have changed a thing for their journey. They have been given a GREAT education, character skills, and a wonderfully supportive staff to guide them in every area. This school has been a gift to our family.

The teachers that our daughter has had thus far during her time at Caprock have absolutely blown us away. They are exceptional both in the education they provide, as well as their overall warmth that comes through in everything they do. We love the culture of Caprock.

Caprock Academy is a very small school, but it does well. The academics are very good and the test scores are always great on average. The only problem I have is that the sports programs are far too limited and funds for the school are not good.

Teachers bullied my kids. They outcasted us as parents. They made me buy new shoes every 2 weeks. They won't let you talk to your kids the second they step foot out of your car. Yell at the parents in drop off line. Won't let you help your kid in and out of the car. Switching my kids to a public sch...
