How can teacher quality be excelent and principal ledership be medeoker?? Does testing really tell the story? Can lack of care make a building age more rapidly? Vae View just underwent an extensive renovation? Many imporvments have been added thanks to our principal? Shall we now set them aside and start over? It is my opinion as a resident of Vae View for almost fifty years that the p with the head custodian of the last twenty + years. Besides being lazy, he is egostistical and is a control freak. I base this on the fact that my wife worked in the school lunch program at Vae View for 17 years. During that time, the student body doubled while the kitchen staff was cut in half. This was "justified" by implimenting a central kitchen and having the custodain help with some of the chores. The previous custodians were attenitive to their duties, but when our present custodian was needed, he could be found setting in his chair with his feet his desk. I also servd with him as a part tim custodian. My experience with him was one of "my way or the highway". He was also incompitent. Not enough room to explain. Long time resident

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.
