I went to this school when I was in grade school, Because i loved it so much My kids now go there. My daughter has gone to 2 other schools and they don't compare to this school. The teachers know all the students names, teachers are friendly.

Newman has a very low number of students per teachers. This allows teachers to take extra time with all students and makes for a great bonding environment. Everyone from the volunteer parking guard to the counselors take the extra time to learn everyone's name and create a safe environment

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.
