The school performs above the state average in nearly every subject area, including CMAS ELA (51.6% proficiency vs. 44.7% statewide) and CMAS Math (47.8% vs. 37.3% statewide). This performance is especially notable given that 38.79% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, a higher rate than many nearby charter schools.

Science is a particular strength. In 11th grade, 54.3% of students at Twin Peaks Classical Academy are proficient in science, nearly double the district rate (30.9%) and more than double the state rate (24.8%), exceeding nearby Prospect Ridge Academy (50%) and Five Star Online Academy (16.7%). The school also posts an impressive 96.8% graduation rate, matching its district and far surpassing the 85.6% state average. Chronic absenteeism sits at 22.8%, below the state rate of 28.4%, and the dropout rate is just 1.0%. Math outcomes are strong as well, with 8th graders reaching 61.4% proficiency compared to 48.5% districtwide, and SAT Math scores (48%) beating both district (38%) and state (32%) averages.

The school shows its greatest strength in middle and high school grades, where it consistently outperforms its district, while elementary scores are more mixed. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.3, class sizes are smaller than many nearby charter schools, including Stargate Charter School (19.4) and Westgate Community School (20.0). Compared to the neighboring St. Vrain LaunchED Virtual Academy, the school posts far higher math proficiency (47.8% vs. 23.0%) and a stronger graduation rate (96.8% vs. 89.3%). Against similarly modeled Loveland Classical School, it achieves higher math proficiency (47.8% vs. 36.9%) and a comparable graduation rate, despite serving a larger share of economically disadvantaged students.
