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.

It is a very underfunded school and it lacks in facilities and good math teachers. Academics overall is exceptional and I feel very prepared for college in that sense. Sports have very little money and inconsistent coaching.

I have been at Caprock for my entire education starting in kindergarten. Throughout my 13 years I have had nurturing relationships with my teachers and hopefully life-long friendships with my peers. Caprock provides a lasting education and focuses mainly on creating a strong English and language base for all students.

I love how academics is the primary focus, but the staff has gone through many lengths to care about my child's character, including her social and relational skills. I feel safe knowing my child isn't being forced taught what is popular in society at the time. You have allowed parents to teach what parents are meant to teach and just focus on what schools are supposed to be focused on.

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...
