Sandy High School is a good school. It has opportunity and many class choices. They have lots of sports and often go to playoffs. The teachers are fairly nice. Some teachers aren't willing to work with students though. I have loved working with everyone in the counseling office. They have been extremely helpful. I have gotten tons of help for my college applications and general questions. I overall have like my experience at Sandy High School

I have nothing but great things to say about Sandy High School and its staff. They genuinely care about the students and the community.

Senior at the school. In my experience the only way that this school manages to get any child engagement is by throwing overtly extravagant assemblies. There is little to no support in almost any department (funding-wise) except for the sports section. There is NO support or proper discipline agains...
