I've been with the SLCSD since I was in kindergarten and am now a high school senior, so I've been with their school system for a LONG time. Overall, there are many flaws that the school district fails to see, but there are also some pros to their educators as well.
The educational system is not the best quality education your child can get. Yes, it depends on the actual school and teachers, but when I've attended 3 different schools with the same kind of curriculum and structure going on, it's honestly not the best and it probably won't help prepare your kid for college very well.
I have many friends who are in different school districts (like Granite, Alpine, etc.) and they seem to be getting a high quality education that many of these public schools in Salt Lake are lacking. These schools are heavily involved in teaching students life skills and helping them to succeed and I've found also that many districts have higher test and academic rates than SLCSD does.
Please don't attend

Salt Lake school district was very disorganized throughout my four years. They were either unable to make decisions, making decisions last minute, or making poor decisions all of which greatly affected students. While there are decisions such as snow days where decisions need to be made last minute there were others where the decision they made had no point and was made over the course of events. They were constantly disorganized and divided sometimes harming a student’s education.
Overall pretty great experience throughout my years in this district! I grew up going to this district and haven’t really known anything else, but from what I have experienced, it’s generally pretty good. I would like to see funding get distributed better in terms of how much money the athletic departments receive versus how much the arts get. I believe it would also be beneficial to have better screening for teachers because a lot of the high school grade teachers shouldn’t be hired if they don’t know how to teach or don’t understand how to interact with developing minds. We are the future, and need to be treated as such.
