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.

We love the school. We are in our fifth year. We seen lots of struggle and staff turnover. We almost left during those times, but we knew that many new charter schools need time to get established and we believed in the potential. The school has settled in quite nicely and the atmosphere is absolutely incredible. We love the academics. And the families are second to none.

My experience at Ascent Classical Academy was a pleasant one, highlighted by dedicated teachers and a young, enthusiastic, rising culture. However, the STEM department was lacking and as teachers left with former, strong administration, admin positions were filled by less involved and less personable individuals.

This is our family’s fifth year at Ascent. We have 4 kids. The tides have finally turned in a really nice direction. We loved it at first, then it was really hard to justify keeping our kids there. It became toxic. Now that the old management company has been fired, a new one put in place, and a new...
