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.

This school is lacking way behind in every aspect. Teachers are alright, but there isn't an in-between. They are either surprisingly amazing at their job or are just plain out terrible. Management isn't the best, but there are some amazing faculty members. There are no incentives for students to succeed and that means that the school's curriculum is forced to fall behind the other schools. This school is beyond saving and I don't see it moving away from the worst middle school in the Jordan District academically wise. Not even the ALPS program will save this school. Message for ALPS kids wanting to attend this school: ALPS at this school is no different than a regular class at any better school. Even if it was, it's still not worth it because this school has so many issues. The students are very stuck up and idiotic on so many levels and it doesn't get better with grade levels either. The 9th graders are just as egotistical as the 7th graders.

My child attended this school and got bullied. The teachers would say they didn't see it, so basically it didn't happen. She ended up having so much anxiety about school that she was sick every morning and missed a lot of school. She also witnessed kids selling drugs outside, a lot of physical fight...

The school has come back from being an absolutely terrible "bad kid" school to one of the best around for middle-level education in Utah. It's absolutely amazing.
