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.

I attend Core Butte Charter School through their distant learning / homeschool program. It came to me during Covid when I needed it. I like the program for the most part. There needs to be more information on print outs. I have a hard time recalling exact info from in person meetings.

I have attended CORE Butte Charter School since I was in 4th grade and have had nothing but great experiences. The personalized learning teachers (PLTs) are amazing at tailoring curriculum to the needs and strengths of students. Center-class teachers help to further enrich students' education and I have had the opportunity to go further in my education than I likely would have anywhere else; I've even been able to attend college classes to work toward completing my General Ed before I graduate high school--all through the concurrent enrollment program at my school.

CORE is an outstanding school. Not everyone is interested in homeschooling but, if you are this is the school for you.

I went to CORE for three years of high school and eventually graduated from here. Although I'm sure I was hard to deal with, because of my lack of responsibility and focus at times, they always treated me with respect, and encouraged me with kindness and attention, so I was able to thrive and grow a...

I highly recommend CORE to anyone looking for a tailored, comprehensive and compassionate educational experience. It allows my daughter the freedom to excel in a supportive non-judgemental environment. Her teacher doesn't know her as a set of test scores but as an individual with unique desires and...
