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.

The teachers are great, but the students are terrible. They have great opportunities for success, but that fact can be hindered by the awful students who go there

This school is not the best school I would recommend. They do not care for bullying or racism in the school and instead side with the person in the wrong. The vice principals think they are better than the principal and will get you in trouble for every little thing. The teachers either only make yo...

My experience here has been great! My teachers are really nice and when I need it always pull me aside to talk to me alone or try and make things work for me, the thing I dislike is that only students with bigger conditions (Low-functuoning autism, down syndrome, ect.) Are the only ones who get acco...
