Two of my children attented West Bountiful Elementary for the entirety of K-6 with mostly positive experiences. However, my third child attended until 5th grade when there was a change in the administration at the school. We found that the focus of the new leadership changed and the education, safety, care and general well being of the students was not the main goal any longer. My child, who noramlly loved school started crying every morning and calling nearly everyday to come home. His medical condition (IBS) was ignored. Several times he was sent to the counselo'rs office, without my knowledge or consent. The many times I contacted the principal to voice my concerns and to reach out for help I was simply brushed aside with comments like, "That is the way we handle things here", "I am sorry that troubles you, but it is our policy" and the last conversation ended with " I have already decided, and there is nothing more to address." At that my son was removed from the school. He started at a new school and is now back to enjoying school and doing very well.
Terrible school the office staff is not helpful at all and not willing to listen to any problems. The principal tries to make her problems everybody elses. We took our kids out after one year of misery. I think that if the principal was more wiling to help the teachers would be more motivated to teach.
The staff at this school was very difficult to work with. This school seemed to be set in its ways and not open to change. We ended up sending our child to a charter school.
I love this school. I went here from k-6 and I moved to the area so that my kids could go here. We are not LDS (major religion here in Utah) but this has not been a problem for us.
