Northern Utah Academy for Math, Engineering & Science (NUAMES) Reviews

NUAMES is an amazingly academically-centered school. With it's conjunction to Weber State University, and qualified teachers and counselors, it is the best environment for your education. It helps you get ahead of other high school students and is the best high school in the state of Utah with a graduation rate of nearly 100%. The statistics are a mere representation however, because a NUAMES student gets to participate in college activities, sports and classes. You feel more mature as you are given a head start on life. My only critique is that while WSU provides many activities, NUAMES clubs are limited to robotics and other STEM centered clubs besides the gay straight alliance, model UN and hope squad. There are not many artistic opportunities outside of art classes which are required or graphic design. There are also no sports. There are however a lot of food options! The campus had cafes and bistros as well as convenience stores and vending machines EVERYWHERE.

Great School! I have attended all 3 years and find that I am extremely prepared for college. In fact, I will be graduating High School with my Associates Degree from Weber State. Classes are not too difficult, but they do require that you do the work and have great time management skills. Teachers are great--they understand how to prepare students for college and to encourage higher level thinking skills.
Amazing teachers and great opportunities to be pushed towards your educational goals. Their Early College program through Weber State University is perfect for college readiness. No sports are currently offered through the school as it is more STEM-based. Two engineering classes are required to graduate as well as a personal capstone project. School spirit is not the best in the district, but the majority of the study body is friendly and fun. Clubs currently offered include choir, National Honor Society, VEX, first robotics, and game club. When it comes to the district, state, and even regional robotics competitions NUAMES excels. Great place to enroll for those looking to get a head start on their education.
