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.

It's wonderful to see how much the staff care for the students and families. They have a high level of expectations for both learning and values which are practiced throughout the day.

I am so glad we made the decision to move to Aspen. They have all of the amenities of the local school, but with small class sizes and more in-depth curriculum. The students learn how to work hard which helps set them up for a life of success.
