This school is great ! Teachers are awesome and really care, I dont understand why it gets a 2 :( For this reason I was really hesitant of enrolling my daughter (we live across the street) but I was finding my self driving about 30 miles to and from another school ... Meet the principal take a tour >>> this school is really not bad ... Be involved as a parent, and all will be well ... I'm glad we gave them a chance,our child is very happy and is doing great just like she was at her charter school ...

My daughter attends this school and it has been a nightmare. The disrespect the teachers have for the students is horrible. The office staff and principal are inept to say the least.

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.
