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 am an elementary parent and have been so pleased with my child's experience at Peak to Peak so far. Teachers and staff truly care about the "whole child," not just their academics, although the academic instruction and support is excellent as well. I've watched my child's self-esteem grow over the past several years and I attribute much of this to Peak to Peak. As a parent, I feel well-informed, connected, and like a true partner in my child's education. I feel like we hit the lottery getting into Peak to Peak.

As someone who has stayed with Peak to Peak from K-12, it can be easy to find your community among the small class sizes. The smaller class sizes also means a lack of big school environment and activities such as a swim team or football field. However, this does mean that there is a higher faculty to student ratio and better chance of connecting with teachers.

Peak to Peak Charter School has generally been a good institution to be brought in, for I've been going here since Kindergarten end experienced a large amount of growth and individual exploration. The HS has been my favorite part although they may not account for recency bias.

We have been very pleased with our son's experience at Peak to Peak so far. He is happy, loves his teachers (all of whom go above and beyond), and is growing by leaps and bounds. We are so grateful to have found this school.

Caution to any families who value diversity of thought, be wary when entering the school. The principal does not value families, only how students can impact the school ranking and reputation. It would appear that this is best accomplished if students parrot only liberal talking points. Teachers are...

Peak to Peak High School is not for everyone. For those who enjoy constant anxiety, being fearful of saying the wrong thing and relish the thought of an entire day of being told what is wrong in the world with no hope for the future-THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! You’ll start with a required class in wh...

P2P is a small, progressive school. But not the K-12 school of its founders. That school (2001-approx 2009) was core knowledge-based at ES, offered (true) flexible ability grouping, and supported unusually advanced courses at MS and HS. It allowed students to work across school types to meet academi...
