I had 3 kids go through Granite over a period of 16 years. Each of them had caring and committed teachers, the PTA is outstanding and the school environment promotes excellence. I was sad when my last child finished.

We had a choice of 2 private schools and Granite Elementary. Our daughter is adopted from overseas and we had concerns about her 'fitting in' This was complete unnecessary as she completed kindergarten through 6th and had a wonderful education. The parental involvement is incredible.

I moved here from out of state and wasn't sure what to expect. I have been very impressed with the teachers, the resource programs, and the after school programs. This is a great school. The parent involvement is great.

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.
