I have one child who was not very happy at this school and one who has thrived at Crescent View. Personality definitely makes a difference concerning what you get out of any school. Crescent View is very crowded, but all Utah schools seem to be. I am really impressed with the teachers, they care so much about the kids. If your kid is willing to work, this is a great school. Ms. Kurtzhals, Vice Principal, is fantastic!

I have really been impressed with the teacher. I am highly disapointed in how the bullying is handles as well as the drugs, over crowded halls and classes. My son was bullyed so bad it required medical attention as well as removing him from the school and going else where.

This school has many buliies. The school does not know how to handle them and get the good kids in trouble when they defend themselves. Students have no respect for the admin.

this is a great school they have cracked down on bulliing and drugs and they dont just sweep issuses under the carpet. they have a great ressource department. you can always find a counciler or addministrator to talk to. the teachers ae well trained and most of them stay after school and will help you child with there work. p.s. if your child is really into history have them get Mr. Murphy he is the best history teacher in the school

This school is horrible. Yes, I'm a former student and I was bullied a lot! I was withdrawn. I recommend that you do not let your child go here. Its horrible. The kids are stuck up and the teachers are not at all caring.

I am very dissapointed in this school. They are more worried about what the kids think of their school than the kids being held accountable for their work. My son is not getting the education he needs. He is getting below what he deserves. There are some good teachers, but they're few.

There is a lot of bullying at this school. The teacher's have no idea who their students are, nor do they seem to care. Classes are overcrowded. There does not seem to be any respect for the principal by the students. This is the worst school my child has ever attended. We will not be back next year.

Great School. Teachers teach very well and are well trained. Some of the best teachers I have ever seen work there. Students often work together to make the school and community around it a better place.
