Middle School Student: In Waterford, the campus is mind-blowing, the environment is kid friendly, the teachers are caring.The campus is like nothing I have ever seen. Not only is it like a college's, it is BEAUTIFUL! Waterford offers amazing activities too.

Corner Canyon High School

• Canyons School District, UT
• 9-12
• Rating 4.36 out of 5  162 reviews

Senior: Corner Canyon has been an excellent school for furthering my education. There have been a lot of opportunities for me to take challenging classes. While the education has been great, the social hierarchy is mentally draining. There are many privileged people at Corner Canyon. Not only are they privileged, but they show it too. They treat people with less “status” or material things as lesser of a human. Nothing sinister, but always underlying resentment. I myself have felt the effects of this mindset. I don’t necessarily fit the stereotype created. I don’t look like other girls, yes I am decently well off financially, but I still don’t always feel like I am welcomed or included. However, this is a small population of my school. The majority of people at Corner Canyon are incredibly friendly and non-judgemental, and these are the people have made my high school experience awesome...Read 162 Reviews

Liahona Preparatory Academy

• Private School
• PLEASANT GROVE, UT
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.85 out of 5  20 reviews

Alum: I was part of the Distance Education program with Liahona. The teachers are caring and inclusive of the students on the other side of the camera. Activities were inclusive of everyone in the classroom. There is an uplifting environment where learning and growth are encouraged and discussed. Throughout my learning process, I was encouraged to adopt the skills necessary for my time in college and the workforce. My teachers encouraged me to use my talents and to connect to other distance education learners. I was able to make great friends. A change I wish the school would apply is providing activities for students to connect outside of classes and the annual youth conference...Read 20 Reviews

Intermountain Christian School

• Private School
• SALT LAKE CITY, UT
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.57 out of 5  61 reviews

Parent: We initially had enrolled our child in a public school district. We honestly tried. Unfortunately, our child was singled out for not being “part of their ward” as a child informed my son and the teasing only increased. So we looked at several schools and decided on ICS. So GRATEFUL we did! They teach in loving, accepting manner and even though he started during the 2nd semester, he quickly made friends and felt like he belonged. As I have watched my child grow in fellowship and confidence, he is challenged and pushed academically as well. I appreciate that ICS is helping us as parents develop the “whole” being. The students of ICS become positive, well rounded, genuinely good kids that strive to achieve and go into this challenging world to make a difference. We do not worry about them being entitled, pushing boundaries or misusing drugs/alcohol. We are a tight supportive team that’s bonded by love of God...Read 61 Reviews

Freshman: American Prep. is really rigorous. I’ve gone here my whole life, and I do around 2 hours of homework. Sounds tough. But it’s rated #1 in college preparedness, and I am confident in my ability to go to college without the toil most students have. This is an amazing school!...Read 19 Reviews

Alta High School

• Canyons School District, UT
• 9-12
• Rating 3.81 out of 5  437 reviews

Alum: I loved attending Alta High School. Being a good student, I appreciated that almost all the teachers were willing to work with me as I was striving to achieve my dream college. I never had much interaction with the administration, but in assemblies and other important functions, I liked the way they treated us as students and showed their concern and care for us. I loved all my teachers, except a very select few that were uncooperative a few times, but even they were good teachers. Being in college now, one thing I would recommend is preparing the students for research essays and longer than 3 page essays as well. That has been one of the things I have felt most unprepared for in college because I never had to write an essay longer than about 3 pages in high school, whereas in college the majority of my essays are longer than 5. I loved that it was a very safe school in a very safe location - even walking to and from school there was never any danger. Recommended to all!...Read 437 Reviews

• Rating 4.17 out of 5  609 reviews

Senior: Riverton High is a good school. I love almost all of my teachers. It is hard to pick a favorite because I have so many! I did drill team at my school for three years, drill team is a highly intense competition dance team. I loved all of the girls on my team. The one thing that bothers me at this school is the bathrooms. I do not mean to sound rude but the school replaced all of the gym floor last year for what seemed like no reason. But the bathrooms have never been renovated since the school opened twenty two years ago. The toilets flood all of the time and 2/3 of the doors do not lock or close. The metal stalls are also rusted onto the tile on the floor. I really do not want to sound rude or anything like that because Riverton is an amazing school that I would recommend to anyone and everyone! I love Riverton High School with all my heart!...Read 609 Reviews

Alum: To be honest, APA may at times seem like an overbearing school where it constantly drowns you with homework and cheesy motivation. However APA is much more than that. It is about teachers that care for you both mentally and physically. It is about learning through experience than earning the grade. It is about teamwork no matter what happens. It is about the strong bonds you build with classmates no matter how small. That is what APA is about...Read 5 Reviews
