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.

My experience at the ASK academy has been a good one. I have attended ASK since 6th grade. Through attending ASK I have been able to go to China for a robotics competition and shadow nurses at the local hospital. I have enjoyed having a more specialized education, as I wish to pursue a biomedical degree. There have been some trouble but I chalk that up to the growing school sizes and growing pains.

The ASK Academy is much more tech based than many other schools. We frequently use our computers in class. Having Fridays off is nice because it gives us more time to work on our homework.

The Ask Academy has some of the best teachers. It is like going to a private school, except that it is a free public school. It is a state charter school, not part of RRPS, and has 2 specialty tracks, biomedical and engineering.

Do not send your child to this school the bullying is horrible and the administration does not care about the children that are bullied and continue to let it happen without any punishment to the bullies.
