You couldn't ask for a better elementary school! The principal, teachers, and PTA involvement is exceptional. You can really tell they care about each individual student. I also love the patriotism and the strong tradition in the school. They have a very good choir program for 4th through 6th grade. There is also a lot of parent involvement and community support. This is an A++ school!

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.
