I love the school, the administration is friendly and helpful. I could not have asked for a better teacher for my son.

This school has some excellent teachers along with some of the worst I have ever experienced. There is a general lack of leadership from the principal, but super involved parents and some stellar teachers make this a great place for learning--just watch out for the bitter and petty members of the staff.

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.
