Parent: Our daughter started at Waterford in the PK3 class, the first the school offers. We wanted to find a place in Salt Lake City that offered a great education, diverse student body, and caring faculty and staff. Waterford offered us all that and more. From the moment you walk into the building, it's clear Waterford is just...different. The students all greet you with a smile and a polite "hello" as they walk down the halls. The administration knows every parent and greets them by name whenever you encounter them. The teachers truly care about the students, their achievement, and their well-being. If you are in the Salt Lake area and are looking for something different, take a look at Waterford. We highly recommend it.... Read 115 reviews

Parent: My 7th grade twins are in their first year at Rowland Hall and we are beyond pleased with their experiences. The strength and rigor of the academics are met with full attention to the social and mental wellbeing of the students as well. The wide range of electives in tech, science and the arts has allowed them to explore so many new subjects. In addition, the attention given to women's sports has been awesome! I would so highly recommend Rowland Hall in every single way. The administration and student body combined foster an incredible and inclusive community that truly inspires achievement, growth and happiness.... Read 158 reviews

Parent: It’s the oldest public charter school in Utah and is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary. All three of my boys have attended all four years (5-8th) at SLArts. It’s been an outstanding school with dedicated faculty, low turnover, stellar arts curriculum including dance, music, visual arts and drama. The math/science teachers and curriculum are also outstanding. It received an A+ in the Utah Schools report card this year. If your student is an avid learner with good executive organizational skills and a passion for the arts - this is the school for you. SLArts is supportive of a diverse student body and creates an environment of deep learning. Be sure to put your child’s name into their lottery in 4th grade (usually closes by February), for consideration as an incoming 5th grader when close to 100 spots are available. Did I mention under 25 student class sizes? Check this one out!... Read 10 reviews

Alum: Judge is a unique place. Most kids don't like it when they are there however it prepares you for college better than anywhere else. It is a close community and leaves you with unique memories and experiences. Although it seems like a chore at times, learning about religion, specifically world religions and social justice, is enlightening and is something you won't get from other schools. The administration often doesn't understand its students but they do understand running a top school. You can find some sort of activity that fits and interests you although socially being with such a small student body can be hard at times. At the end of the day, it is excellent for academics, you'll make a few lifelong friends, and the variety of clubs and activities it offers is unrivaled. I was more prepared for college out of state, as well as being very involved in activities/the community than many of my peers and I owe that to Judge.... Read 120 reviews

Senior: Itineris Early College High School is an exceptional school. Everyone should consider putting their kids in this school. As a student myself, I have had so many opportunities at this school I wouldn't get anywhere else. For instance, Itineris offers Concurrent Enrollment and Early Enrollment college classes. This helps get high school credits, but also a chance at getting an Associate's Degree! That is one of the main reasons I went to this school. The teachers and counselors connect with the students amazingly, there are even college professors teaching here. Itineris is a STEM school so if you are interested in taking a career in that, I highly suggest this school. It gives you the college experience without officially being enrolled in one. Everyone is helpful and you also get your own school computers. If I had my own kids, I would force them to go to this school because of all the opportunities it gives students.... Read 385 reviews

Freshman: I love this school! During this Covid season, our school has taken many many precautions to keep our school up and running and it seems to be doing wonders. The staff and teachers at this school are amazing, kind and supportive of students while providing a good learning environment. I love the wide variety of school activities for every interest, from basketball to International Club and Pre-Med club. We have amazing student body -run dances and activities that just gets you into the school spirit. Overall, my experience here is great and I can't wait to see what's next.... Read 206 reviews

Senior: I like the community at AMES. Everyone encourages each other to do better and challenge themselves. I have so many things that I probably would not have done without the encouragement of the AMES community. This includes things such as a difficult class I was hesitant to take or a volunteer experience I was unsure about. Now I am so glad I did these things. One thing that should change at AMES is College Forum. College Forum was designed to help us prep for college whether it was the admissions process or succeeding in college however, College Forum has not been very effective in my personal experience. But AMES is in the process of changing it currently. So hopefully College Forum reaches it's full potential soon!... Read 230 reviews

Alum: I absolutely loved this elementary school when I was a kid. I attended Peruvian for K-6th grade and have many fond memories there. At the time the teachers were good and kind, the activities were fun, and the environment felt warm and inviting. I never felt anything but safe there and I felt that my early years of education were in good hands.... Read 1 review

Parent: Our daughter attended ICS for pre-K last year and is now in Kindergarten - I never leave reviews but I am so proud to be a part of this community for my children's education (we have 4 kids!). To give you an idea of what makes ICS special beyond great academics and small class sizes (for kindergarten): weekly Spanish classes, twice a month STEM lab, weekly library and music classes, chapel, ballet lessons after school, and field trips! Our teachers are great at communicating and welcome parent involvement - they are transparent, honest, and genuine. Lastly, Christian values are woven throughout our child's whole day, not just one class or weekly service. They are learning about God in math, during reading, and music, and all the time! What makes ICS special is when my daughter goes to school, I know that our values at home are being reinforced at school.... Read 69 reviews

Junior: Overall, Hillcrest High is a very good school. There are many different classes with great faculty and staff. It is a very upbeat community full of school pride and tons of opportunities to show your school spirit by going to different sports games and school events. However, sometimes the normal/honors students can be overlooked as the AP/IB students take priority. There have been many instances where rooms and labs reserved for normal students have instead been given to AP/IB students which takes learning opportunities away from others. Many teachers also focus more on getting grades and reports in on time for the AP/IB students and let all other students fall behind. As someone who has been both enrolled in the normal programs and the AP program I hope that they will soon allow both groups the same academic opportunities.... Read 515 reviews

Junior: I definitely think this school is a great choice if you are interested in science since this school has a lot of hands-on labs and excursions that make you really passionate to learn. Another thing I like is that it is a really small school, so you get to know others better than in a larger, more common high school. One downside I see with this school is a lack of clubs and sports. Due to the relatively small size, there isn't the traditional sport and clubs you might expect.... Read 60 reviews

Alum: The very best school I've ever attended! The money spent will be well spent because this school will help your child succeed. I went to City Academy and had an amazing experience, so I can attest to this. As a result, I was accepted into nursing school and received the education I knew I merited, and that every student should receive. Trust me, enrolling your child in this school will only lead to success in the future; I'll do the same when the time comes for me to have my own kids.... Read 38 reviews

Senior: Overall an outstanding school, there are different options for classes for really anyone! It is a massive school with not much diversity regarding students. This school is all about putting its students first! When it comes to grades and passing classes, teachers always put in so much effort to help out the students so that they can succeed. From being a senior, I've been able to have all sorts of classes with amazing teachers. It is easy to create friends in classes if you are willing to talk! Dances and social events are always worth going to! Personally, I wish that I went to more! Your counselors are very helpful when you have a goal and want to stick to them. From my experience overall, I am happy with it. Skyridge is a very good school with a lot of opportunities in any career pathway that you want to go into. I've found some of my closest friends here along with some of the best teachers to help me with my future. Skyridge isn't perfect, but it is a very good school.... Read 147 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

Senior: Brighton high is very sport oriented and likes to focus on the culture. We have lots of different sports you can take and we have lots of different games every week. We are supposedly the top sport schools in all of Utah. I will say though that we do not have the best teachers when it comes to core subjects. We do not focus on them a lot. We do have a class called American problems, it is the only class in all of the United States that does simulations to teach history! We have a lot of clubs, help with services, accept everyone and have events every week to bring everyone together! Our culture is strong here and our faculty definitely helps with that! They try there hardest to help all students and meet there needs. Our theater and arts are also huge and everyone wants to join the play when tryouts happen! Most take photography or wood working. Our school is safe and have specific things in place to keep the kids safe. We love diversity and meeting new people! We are a big school!... Read 418 reviews

Parent: Since finding wasatch peak, my kids have excelled exponentially! Amazing teachers and administrators. They listen to any concerns and are proactive about helping. Instead of just worrying about passing the test, they make sure each individual child is growing in their own knowledge, which prepares them for the future. The food is the best around because they have their own cook. The diversity is as best as it can get in this area. Parents are involved because they want to, not because they have to. My children absolutely love going to school here and I would 100% recommend it, and have!!... Read 6 reviews

High School Senior: I had a great experience at this school. Some of the best things about this school is the size of the classes, the structure, and the life lessons that are taught. The school is very small with around 500 total students total k-9th grade. This being said, the class sizes are very small and a lot of individual help is available for students who need help. Its also a very structured school. Everything is very organized and all teachers there are on the same page as far as learning material and procedures. Some of these procedures include life lessons the teachers are trying to teach the students. One example of this are smart goals. Students are required to right 4 smart goals a year and are expected to reach these goals.... Read 3 reviews
