I would like to see Canyons District invest more in disabled kids. The teachers at this school are nice but don't seem to have the resources or training to deal with special needs kids. Adult supervision before/after school is lacking (only at front of the school) despite bulk of classrooms at back of the school and a back entrance to the school grounds. Good test scores but school lacking in alot of other areas beginning at the top. Think twice before choosing this school.

I would like to see the Canyons School District invest more resources in Visual Arts and Music education at the elementary school grade level, beginning at 4th grade. The teachers could use the time their students are in Visual Art and Music class to plan. Teachers are enthusiastic. Substitutes are used too frequently, in my opinion, while covering for teachers when the teachers take several hours per week for planning outside the classroom.

I really enjoy Quail Hollow. They are a group of caring and genuine teachers, and the principal is great too. I would love to see more art and creativity worked into the classrooms. However I do feel the core curriculum to be fair and complete. I am excited to have my son complete elementary here. It is also an added bonus that the Albion Junior High is located across the street from Quail Hollow, so all the friends he has made will go with him into junior high.

Quail Hollow is a fine school - not great - but adequate. Good kids, caring teachers...but not much else. Very limited fine art education - perhaps my biggest disappointment. No sports. Decent parent involoement.

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.
