New Principal with defined goals for the school. Test scores are great and going up each year. The students did awesome on the IOWA testing. Great PTA involvement, after school programs, kindergarten extended day, summer reading program, great art & excellent music programs, safe school, teachers that want the best for your child.... and so much more. Go visit them; it's a great school!

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.
