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.

I love my teachers at Aspen. As a medium sized middle school, they know me by name and know my strengths and challenge areas. They are there to help me when I need it--especially during distance learning. This year even though there is a pandemic, we are learning the same material like we would if there wasn't. I don't have to worry that I won't be prepared for high school.

I'm so glad I go to Aspen for middle school. I learn a lot in the classes. They are like the honors classes at the local middle school, but without the hours of homework. The teachers really know me and support me during the day. It is a really safe environment. I have never had to deal with or see bullying. I really like the tech classes and the Penguin Corps which is the Linux computer club.

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.

Sped program is great, classroom para's or one to one para's are easy to get.Classes are capped at 22 kids and are often closer to 20 kids.Lots of younger and newer teachers, has its pluses and minuses, but all teachers are still energetic and excited to teach - no mean or sad teachers here.

The school is really good through fourth grade. The middle school is not managed well. There's not a lot of kids in the middle school there, which is good education wise but bad in regards to social interactions. All the school bullies do is pick on the same kids over and over again. It's too small...

Our family has been proud members of the Aspen family for 8 years and while the school was a good fit in the past, over the past two years there has been a dramatic change in the leadership and staff. The school used to be everything you would expect from a Charter School, parent engagement, parent...
