Classes are overcrowded, no extracurricular activities for the children, no good interactions with teachers or principal.

This school has been great so far. My son is in Kindergarten and he has learned reading, math, social skills, and so much more this year. We receive communication from this school about what the kids are working on, upcoming activities, etc., and they are also very thorough about keeping the parents involved. With the recent security issues around the country involving schools, Daybreak has made a huge effort to tighten up security and they also practice drills with the students in case of emergency. I think they handled it extremely well and made me as a parent feel a lot better about my child's safety.

Daybreak is a great school! The principal is easy to work with and cares about students. The teachers are great and my boys have made a lot of progress since they started there. I've been very pleased.

Best teachers, principal and staff. Our school works very hard to accommodate all the children and strive for more than average, we strive for above the bar on all subjects.

I rate four star. I wish there was more than one learning style.

Horrible overcrowding, lax security, clueless office staff, no separate art, music, computer and phys ed classes. It is also in a newer building, but doesn't feel welcoming

Daybreak Elementary is a good school and it is nestled in a wonderful community. It opened the Fall of 2005 and, considering it is a relatively new school, we have been pleased. The administration has a good working relationship with parents. The school, like every other school in the Salt Lake Valley, is crowded and the class sizes are large. We have an average turnover of teachers but this was mainly due to boundary changes and the opening of new schools. Once our boundaries are settled (we will go through one more boundary change this summer) I think the school and all its programs will run much more smoothly.

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.
