What I like about Kearns academy is that its a small school, really good with kids who have social anxiety because they are in a place with limited students and they won't get distracted while learning, the teachers are amazing. They work with the student to help them understand the material and I absolutely love all my teachers. They help me with the work that I dont know and they don't discriminate any students everyone is treated equally there and thats what I love most about it. I recommend it 100000% for future high schoolers to go there.

Overall this school was great. They were very concerned about our future and prepared us for college. The teachers would do anything they could when it came to college admissions, even the assistant principal would help. The only thing that I would change would be the building. The academy is only one hallway where we share the building with another school.

Great school, I have graduated from there but the friends that I have made there still say that it's a great school. Fighting and bullying levels are slim to none and test scores and grades are pretty good. The teachers are very helpful and easy to trust.
