I am a current high school senior in the Salt Lake City School district. Though my past few high school years have been nothing but normal, the district has done a brilliant job at continuing to push forward and motivate students as much as possible. I am continually impressed with the number of resources offered in my district and am grateful that so many things are available for such varied needs. Though I understand that every school district has its flaws, I have been disappointed by the continual denial for the publication of articles I write for my School newspaper. This is not because the articles contain incorrect or inappropriate content. It is because they do not follow certain policies implemented by the district. For example, I wrote an op-ed on Critical Race Theory and an informative piece on Sex Education in Utah, both of which were flagged. This is not to say that the district should have no say over what is published, but topics such as these should not be prohibited.
Salt Lake School district is overall a good place for students. The dedication they have for students shows from ever staff, administrators, teachers, etc. A change I would like to see is more support on college advice than just setting visits with colleges or universities. I think it’s more reasonable to get as much support and advice when it comes to getting prepare for the ‘adult hood.’
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
