My son and daughter transferred to this school from a private institution, and I must say I was leery at first. I can say after one year there, they are far above the private schools academia, and all the teachers really take pride in their work. My kids love to go to school in the morning. My kids have excelled at this school thanks to Mr. James (2nd grade), and Mrs. Atkinson (1st grade). This school is wonderful!

Wasatch Elementary is wonderful. Mr. Hansen runs a tight ship and teachers are well-qualified. Parental involvement is high. Ogden City School District gets a bad rap, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how great this school is. My children are motivated to do their best and they love to be involved in school work and extracurricular activities

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.
