I absolutely love this school! The principal is so caring and the teachers are awesome. The after school activities are a lifesaver. My son liked going to choir and both of my children loved learning to play chess. My children greatly enjoyed every moment they spent there, and were upset when I had to move them to a different state.

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.
