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.

As a hybrid school, SSAE is incredibly flexible with scheduling and academics. My siblings are able to play AAA sports on their own time and the school has an athlete program to accomodate out-of-state travel. SSAE allows for concurrent enrollment at Pikes Peak State College, and offers college classes on campus. Teachers will push you to do your absolute best and do everything to make your learning experience dynamic and engaging.

One thing that I loved about Springs Studio was the college readiness aspect. I was able to take classes at a community college through them for 3 years. They paid for it and I was able to go into university with 2 full years of college credit

Recently they changed the website they use for most of the classes, and to put it nicely, it's terrible. The questions on a lot of assignments and quizzes are poorly worded, sometimes there are spelling errors (which makes no sense for something based academically), and the criteria they cover in videos versus what they ask in quizzes seems to be different a lot of the time. Most of the teachers are great and actively work to help students.

There are so many things I could write, examples I could share. This school is a JOKE! I started the year with having 2 of my children enrolled. 1 in 8th grade and 1 in 5th. I pulled my 8th grader after 5 weeks due to the topics he was being exposed to. The "English" teacher started the year off tal...

The counselor is very nice and friendly and gives you a positive feeling about the school but there is a serious lack of communication. My son was failing a class and I found out 2 days before end of school year.

This school completely transformed our child from an insecure, struggling student to a girl brimming with confidence and excited to go to school. She also has improved academically by leaps and bounds. She understands math better than she ever has, is writing beautifully, and is a self starter--all...
