Maeser is a very good school with lots of opportunities and good kids. I personally love the baseball team very good community there. But sometimes the teachers don't use good practice and let politics invade the education space

As an introvert, I loved Maeser Prep. It taught me how to be college ready and exercise my brain. The teacher to student ratio was ideal, and I always felt like I had one on one time with the teachers. I had a group of friends that I truly loved. Something I like to see change at Maeser is the idea that your life revolves around school, and limiting your extracurriculars and sports. It felt like school work followed me even outside of the building and in my own home.

FAKE best high school! Corrupted system that only cares to have A students so they can continue to earn the best school awards. They ignore students who are struggling and even suggest them not to stay. Most teachers are good except a few teachers are heartless that would just fail the students with...

My kids went to Maeser several years ago, they started there before the new building was built. They participated in music, plays, sports and had a lot of friends. They were very happy there, had excellent teachers and staff. I would recommend this school to other parents.
