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.

Empower is a family school. Dedicated to support each student who walks in their doors. I love this school as a parent. They provide so many resources and free events. They really take care of the whole family. I wish they had a more diverse range of sports and arts but that's typical for a small charter school.

The very first years my daughter started school here was in 2022 for 6th grade it was at the extended campus I believe they don't have it anymore but I didn't like that part of it because the kids would lose alot of fun activities the school would do and it would get my child upset because why we're they allowed to do what the school campus would do. I was glad that when she got sent to 7th grade she was sent to the main campus my daughter and I were verybhappy because she would of eable to join sports and more activities. The club she really loved was Wake-up club 💙 She loved to volunteer in different place the officers would take the kids. They would also do fun activities like movies and taking them to main event or the zoo.. She promoted from 8th grade but unfortunately she would not be able to return due to us moving. But if we didn't had to donthisnlife change she would of sill be going thre for her freshman year. I Definitely recommend this school to anyone.

Empower college prep is a small school. If you are looking for a school that will provide clubs and activities this is not the school for it. We have only 6 sports teams 5 of them being the same sport just different genders. And on top of that we have maybe 4 running clubs in the entire school. Any...
