Springville Junior High School

I could not be more pleased with SJHS. The teachers are excited about teaching and the staff is very helpful. I am very impressed with the communication with the students and the parents. My daughter gets a weekly progress report so she know exactly how she is doing in each class. I receive weekly emails from her core teachers and the principal letting me know not only how my daughter is doing, but also what they are learning and working on that week. We had a problem with another student at the first of the year and as soon as we brought it to the attention of the attendance secretary and VP, the problem was taken care of immediately and positively. My daughter loves Jr. High and is having a great year.

Horrible school! This was my daughters first year at this school and she will not be going back! I have never seen a school with so much bullying and troubled students. There is NO teacher/parent communication. Teachers are mean and not willing to work with the students on an individual level. I can say one good thing about the school and that is the orchestra program. I would not recommend this school at all.

It is a school that has excellent teachers and also is a school that is focused on student learning.

Lack of tolerance,lack of love for the individual students,I have been very dissapointed in this school.

SJHS is very aware of students' needs. Their teachers communicate with each other and with parents in order to figure out ways to best help the students. The music program is amazing and the track program invites all students, atheletes or not, to participate as a team and work toward a common goal. The PTA is very supportive and I am convinced that parents have a strong voice within the school. Parents work with teachers to create extra-curricular opportunities that are safe, social, and enriching for their students. There is a strong sense of pride among students, parents, and teachers within this school. A part of that pride comes from a principal who empowers and allows teachers to be creative in their approaches to student learning. I am pleased to be a part of SJHS.
