I agree with parent who posted April 1, 2009. And for the parent who posted April 5, 2010, your fowl mouth and attitude was one of the problems I saw with parents and students. I was very active in my son's education, otherwise his three years there would have been a waste.

South is an amazing school. I love it!! My Student is getting an incrediable education there. And it pisses me off to see all of these people talk crap on this school. And the students that go there are so cute!! they are such cool kids. :)

Education and teachers have been great. Little disappointed about German class getting cancelled. Athletics department another story. Only play if you have the 'name'

My son is not highly self-motivated when it comes to school but I felt that the administration and his teachers did not have high requirements and expectations. I felt like my son took three years off of school. Partly my fault, partly his fault and partly South's fault.

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.
