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.

My daughter has thrived at Salt Lake Arts Academy. She has gone from hating math to math being one of her favorite subjects. She looks forward to going to school every day because of the emphasis on the arts.

We are enjoying our second experience with Salt Lake Arts Academy. Our daughter graduated a few years back and is now a senior in high school and our son is now a sixth grader at SLArts. Both experiences have been excellent. The academics are rigorous and prepared our daughter well for her high school experience, and the arts are well supported to allow for creative growth.
