The school does nothing about bullying and the upper staff has no clue how to deal with bullying. The teachers are good but still can’t do anything about bullying. The principal has no time to talk to parents.

My students attended this school. The administration is absolutely horrible here. They are rude and inconsiderate. The principal is one of the most incompetent people I have ever met. I have overheard the administration talk inappropriately with one another as they greet students at the flagpole in the morning. Teachers make Tik Tok videos when they should be teaching students during the day...I'm confused when they say they offer a rigorous education for their students. Highly do not recommend this school.

I have been extremely impressed with this school. My son is introvert and I was nervous about him being in such a big school but everyone has been so great and cares for him deeply. All teachers he has had helps him socially as well as in his academics.

I’m so done with this school. They don’t follow 504 plans. There’s little consistency between teaches, staff, and parents. Teachers are able to go around the back of the counselor to get out of following the 504. Their policy for absences requires a note regardless of the nature of the appointment. My son hasn’t learned anything in math or reading since last year when I homeschooled. He’s learned more in history in science, but it’s been limited since they don’t follow his plan.

This school has been amazing! Watching the growth and development of my kiddo has been incredible. The teachers and staff are so focused on providing the best educational experience possible, and they truly care about the kids at their school. We started during peak Covid and were blown away by their processes, inclusivity, and the fact that in such a challenging time they made the experience smooth and painless for the kids AND families. I cannot recommend RMCA for families enough! It’s such a great charter school option and you won’t be disappointed!

The staff is very supportive and professional. They always are available for my kids and their concerns. Teachers always replied to emails in the same day.

I wish I could give this school zero stars. I have three children in this school and all are being disenrolled due to bullying, failure to follow educational plans like IEP, 504 and advanced learning plans. This school is very concerned with their image and not actually concerned with success. If your child is average and doesn’t require and additional help, they will thrive. If your child has special needs, run!

My kids love Rocky Mountain Classical Academy! They have grown tremendously, academically and personally, since they started attending. I would highly recommend the school to anyone looking for a classical charter school.

Terrible! School has definitely declined since they physically moved locations and came under new leadership. The school scores have gone down along with the school rating, which accurately and directly reflects how the school is run.

We have been at RMCA for 7 years. We’ve seen a lot of staff come and go. However the teachers have always been amazing! They care about the kids and they are passionate about their jobs. The leadership is probably the best it’s been in several years. I’m thankful my kids don’t have to do common core, they teach character development, and I love that the middle school is small! My kiddos feel safe, and are happy to go to school each day!

Our family has been at RMCA from the beginning, and we have loved this school. It’s grown so much and has really become a cathedral of learning.

Wonderful! This is our second year there and I love how welcoming and helpful the teachers and staff are.

AMAZING!!! This is our first year in middle school and so far so good. All the teachers seem great and my son enjoys it. A complaint is that MS doesn’t have lockers to store their belongings which is very hard on the kids having to carry super heavy bags and coats etc from class to class. Hoping they’ll figure something out to fix this issue

We've really appreciated our experience at RMCA in both elementary and middle school. While no school can be perfect, we are pleased with the education and opportunities our children have had. The staff and admin care about the students.

My children love everything about this school as do I. I feel they are getting a top notch education in an amazing facility with incredible faculty. I looked at several school options and still feel I made the perfect choice for my kids.
