  Rating 4.61 out of 5  56 reviews

Senior: DSU Success Academy has helped me accomplish so much in high school than I have ever thought possible. I’m not talking just about education. It has taught me a lot about life and how to be a better person! There were a couple times you would want to quit cause a lot was being thrown at you (due to the school being an early college high school). But you learn that you have to get up more times than you fall down. The teachers and counselors at Success Academy are amazing as well! They really just want the best for you and hope for your success as long as you are willing to put the work in. I cannot think of a time one of the teachers there were not willing to help a student in need! There really isn’t anything that needs changing about this school. You are getting what you ask for when applying...Read 56 Reviews

  Rating 4.04 out of 5  324 reviews

Niche User: Overall, I think Desert Hills High School is a great school and one of the best in southern Utah. It offers lots of great classes with teachers highly trained to best help and teach students their subjects. This high school also has lots of great opportunities for students to participate and be involved such as the many clubs, sports, and school plays. As I was once a student at this high school, I feel I could not have received a better education elsewhere. This school is also extremely excepting of all students regardless of their background or family’s social standing. When faced with any problems, I personally was able to receive immediate help from staff. I was also able to receive help from counselors both with scheduling classes and having help overcoming tough situations. The school also has great food with different options to chose from each day...Read 324 Reviews

  Rating 5 out of 5  3 reviews

Parent: My son goes here, and it is a no-nonsense place, where they try to inculcate good values in the kids, and expect nothing less than good behavior and respect for others. They make them responsible for their actions. They believe in deep therapy and work on the kids to be authentic and honest. They use cognitive behavior therapy to teach them that their thinking errors can create bad behaviors. They could do better by preparing kids of SAT or other exams...Read 3 Reviews

  Rating 4.09 out of 5  259 reviews

Senior: Being a student here at Pine View High was an amazing experience. You see so many shows all over the tv/internet about dreary high schools with bullying and graffiti, but Pine View is the exact opposite. Everyone knows each other and everyone cares for each other, basic compassion isn't something that's scarce here. Furthermore the staff is amazing and many of them connect on a personal level to their students, which makes the learning experience so much easier! There's students here who have befriended their teachers, and that is just the sweetest thing! Learning here is a privilege that I hope upcoming high schoolers will enjoy! The school offers a variety of programs that cater to all sorts of personalities! I feel really safe here in the way that I'm in no way worried about being cheated out of an education...Read 259 Reviews

Senior: I loved snow canyon! It was amazing! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am a very musical person. And during covid when it came down to either having a sports game or a musical concert those nights, they always chose the sports games. The musical concerts were always canceled or rescheduled and then canceled again. We got just about no time to show our families and friends our accomplishments. It felt pretty unfair...Read 303 Reviews

Senior: My experience attending Hurricane High has been so thrilling and fitting! Hurricane is a smaller school, making it easier to get to know everyone, know the teachers personally, have exciting activities, and feel accepted. At school I feel like all the teachers and staff are there to support and encourage us kids. This has helped with my ability to succeed in school incredibly. It gives me a feeling of hope that I can do hard things! The culture here at Hurricane High has friendliness, safety, and an uplifting feeling. Going to school here has been an enjoyment with all the creative activities and attitudes with the students. I have loved it here at Hurricane High!...Read 275 Reviews

  Rating 3.83 out of 5  6 reviews

Parent: It is a very non-traditional school for this area run by the church. Lowest bullying rate in the area, lowest student to teacher ratio, hands on learning and if students have issues it is very easy to get one on one help almost immediately. All of the students are highly intelligent and allowed to be themselves without judgement. It is a public college prep school with courses taught by professors as you would find in a private school. It has an open campus and believes in students as a whole person, not just a number. By far the best school out here. It is an excellent school with excellent scores in spite of the church And locals trying to shut it down to take it over. We moved away briefly and the education environment where we were was so bad we came back just for this school. local politics has made it difficult for the school in every way they can but has had overwhelming support . Highly recommend. Not focused on sports but on the mind...Read 6 Reviews

Senior: I have attended to Crimson Cliffs High School for the past three years. I enjoyed going to the school because it is clean, orderly, and has great and easy to use technology. The teachers are all friendly and have a general interest in helping students learn and succeed. The community of the school is amazing, and established in a safe area. There are a variety of classes that allow students to learn what they are interested in, including many fine arts classes and electives. Crimson Cliffs also offers access to school sports and new equipment. While the school lunch offered is average, there are also many restaurants in a close proximity that students are welcome to visit during the hour long open-campus lunch break. I feel lucky to have been able to attend such a welcoming and clean school that has helped me learn and achieve an excellent education...Read 5 Reviews

Parent: Cinnamon Hills saved my daughters life. They did for her what we could not do at home. She was behind in school and had PTSD from trauma. They taught her coping skills and she graduated with her High School diploma. She was there one year and now will attend college. I will forever be grateful to them. Parents that feel they are harsh, are enablers. It is no joke. It is not Disneyland. They are trying to save your childs life. I had 5 schools to choose from and...Read 2 Reviews

  Rating 3.5 out of 5  2 reviews

Senior: In my time at Falcon Ridge Ranch, I not only focused on my academics, but my mental and emotional health as well. Much of the time previous to my attending this private school, I would procrastinate and put myself down when it came to my schoolwork and even relationships. The classroom sizes (about 12 students) benefited me because teachers would be able to help out with any questions I had more often than public schools (about 20-30 students). I was given time to do schoolwork daily and was allowed to stay after school for extra one-on-one study hours. Much of the classroom curriculum was the same for all grades 7-12, however students had the option to do independent studies in textbooks and/or computers. This program overall kept me on track and has helped me create my, now many, goals of the future...Read 2 Reviews
