GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love Payson Jr High School. There are many great teachers and wonderful courses available. My favorite teacher is Mrs. Mall. She taught me some really great life skills. Although she is my favorite teacher, I have had many great experiences with my other teachers. The school has a great atmosphere and I love the people there.

As with any junior high school, it’s a huge transition for teenagers. However, PJHS has incredible administration and outstanding teachers. Nebo school district is one of the top 10 in the state of Utah and ranked first in Utah county.

Great school, my children feel welcome. There is great structure and a positive learning environment. Most of the teachers seem to care about the success of the students. The administration goes above and beyond to connect with the students.
