Sophomore: I LOVE UT Success Academy! It is a program focused on students and is centered on preparing students to be full-time college students on campus. The counselors work tirelessly to have students' schedules line up between border schools and Success. By taking several dual-enrollment classes, students will graduate in their senior year with an associate's degree from Utah Tech University and a high school diploma. With real college professors for teachers, students develop essential study skills early in High School.... Read 59 reviews

Junior: I am currently a junior at Desert Hills High School in St George, Utah. Desert Hills is a great school. Our amazing student council is a big help in uniting our student body, getting them involved and excited for sports and other events. Going to the varsity football and volleyball games is a cool experience. The community here is very inclusive. I have made numerous loyal friends since attending this school that I intend on keeping in touch with for a while. However, nothing is perfect. One thing that I would change or better about Desert Hills is counselors watching out for bullying. From experience, I would have appreciated it if that was more prominent. My experience at Desert Hills High school has taught me a lot about friendship, kindness, maturity, and self-control. With time, I have realized my experiences have made me a better version of myself. Moving forward, I hope to look out for others and be a better friend to them too.... Read 338 reviews

Parent: Amazing school with great teachers, faculty, course selection, and culture! We moved here from out-of-state so our daughter could start 9th grade at UAA last fall and have been so impressed with the school. The academics side is top notch and our daughter is learning real life skills and creative expression in a safe and challenging environment. Would highly recommend to others and suggest anyone considering to go take a tour!... Read 137 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

Junior: Dixie High School has a truely excellent atmosphere. All the teachers and staff are very carrying and want the best for you. The students here are among the nicest of any school that I have been to. Not only is there a great diversity here, there is rarely a case of bullying at Dixie because everyone here cares about one another. The school spirit here is simply unmatched. All the students here are filled with Dixie pride and we wouldn't have it any other way! You will see plenty of examples of this spirt at sports events, theater productions, and assemblys. There are lots of clubs and extra-curriculars to occupy your time including, drama clubs, art clubs, a competitive science team, and many others. Our athletic teams are among the best in the state. Our football team has won multiple state championships, along with basketball, baseball, swim, and tennis. There are lots of opportunities and pathways for students who want to pressure jobs in tech, beauty, agriculture, and more.... Read 282 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....

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....

Junior: Man what a great place! I cannot believe the teachers here, You expect to be taught and instead of meeting a teacher you meet a new friend, A friend who is always there whenever you need someone to talk to, and a friend that will always have your back when you are trying to figure out the strange road in your future....

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 14 reviews

Alum: WCHS was still a very new school when I attended there. I felt that the school was incredibly accepting and understanding of student struggles. Any complaints I would have, such as frequent staff changes, can be forgiven because I know they are working incredibly hard to establish an excellent institution with whatever tools they have....

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

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
