I have 2 kids who attend Amelia Earhart. All of teachers are excellent, and the support staff is very good at keeping me informed of everything at the school. They have great administrators who really care about the kids.

This school is a 10! Run by the principle not the government, makes it a great school! Very professional staff.

Amelia Earhart has a fantastic special education program. The teachers actually love and care about their students! Mrs. Thibault (kindergarten) is AMAZING. She doesn't just stop caring for your child once they are out of her classroom--she works with you to get the best 1st grade teacher for your child's needs. Mrs. Arney (2nd grade) is also wonderful. She helped my sons transfer to this school go smoothly and was very warm and open. The only 'complaint' I have is the lack of homework given. Is this state wide?

The principal takes her leadership responsibility seriously and does a grrreat job! and expresses real love and concern for the well being of the children who attend there. And I really respect the fact that she will not support the no child left behind act. She runs her school, not the government and that is what makes it quality.

Amelia Earhart is a clean school. I would say the 21 students per teacher is wrong. It is more like 27-32 kids per class. There is not enough supervision on the playground but things are being done to try to fix that. The teachers at Amelia are wonderful and caring. Parents are always welcome. The parking lot for pick up and drop off has some major flaws but none that seem to be fixable without the city's help in building a new road into the school area.

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.
