We love J.A. Taylor, great teachers, students and staff!
—Submitted by Amy Stevens, a parent


Posted September 30, 2006

I think Taylor Elementary is a great school! My daughter started last year and she already was popular! All the children are awesome! And one of them in sixth grade won in second place in the national NBA scholastic essay contest! Go Mustangs! Taylor might not be the richest school around but its one of the best! I would give Taylor elementary four point nine stars! 4.9 Take your kids to Taylor. They will make new friends and have awesome teachers. By the way, Mrs. Eliason is one of the best teachers ever to exist!

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Utah used the Utah Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 1 through 11 in language arts, in grades 1 through 7 in math, in grades 4 through 9 in science and upon completion of certain courses in grades 8 through 11. The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject. The CRT is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Utah. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
