This school has been everything we have needed in a school. My girls have excelled in areas I never dreamed possible.

I love it here and so do my kids. Everyone is nice and willing to work with the kids to further their education. The teachers do no set anyone aside just because they can't keep up, they hold their hand and work with them one step at a time.

I love this school. My oldest was reading at a kindergarten reading level when she went there in the 4th grade. She is now in 6th and caught up with her grade. My youngest hated school before and now I can't get her to miss it to go to Disney Land, she wants to go during the summer, because she hates missing 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.
