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.

The size of the school is somewhat small, but it makes up for it in the attention to detail. The teachers are amazing and always willing to help the students do their best. The academics, while slightly challenging are very good, and prepare you for college.

While the school prides itself on being a "college preparatory academy," I found its preparation lackluster after going to college. When I attended, there were no calculus classes, no coding classes, and very little AP courses. Going to a pursue a STEM degree, I found myself behind my peers. I would recommend it if you would like to pursue a liberal arts degree, the classics parts are rewarding and informative.

For the most part, the teachers at this school were always easy to talk to about grades, but some of them were very harsh and pushy when things didn't get done as they fully intended.

I am so happy that I chose to enroll my student in Twin Peaks. The content is academically rigorous and my student is challenged. I love that the school does not use technology and students are held to a high standard.

When I first heard about Classical Education, I knew it was something that would inspire and benefit my children not only academically, but also their character development and growth. My husband and I came to the Twin Peaks Open House event 3 years ago, and immediately knew this was the school we w...
