Parent: We had the most incredible experience with George Washington Academy! All four of our kids attended this charter school, and it was truly amazing. The dedication and care shown by each teacher were beyond compare. They knew our children individually, working closely with them, and holding them accountable for their education. The teachers' commitment to our kids' growth and development was evident every day. One of our children faced challenges with severe dyslexia, but thanks to the exceptional resource team and the incredible 3rd-grade teacher, he fell in love with reading and going to school again. The leadership team at George Washington Academy is nothing short of outstanding. We can confidently say that George Washington Academy has been an integral part of our children's educational journey, providing an environment where they flourish. We highly recommend this school to any parent seeking an exceptional educational experience for their children.... Read 32 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 11 reviews

Parent: The school is amazing. It has small class size, arts, music, and a strong focus in the core skills, math, reading writing. The small size allows the school to do amazing things to encourage learning. The teachers are beyond hard working and caring about students.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: Overall, I love this school! I love how they teach based on the ability of the child and not the grade only. I have one child who is above his grade level and one who is avg and they teach to both. I also love the smaller class sizes which helps them have a better learning experience. The only areas of improvement I would like to see is, more Spanish (once a week is not enough to learn much) and the pick up process is pretty terrible. I've been to other school that you are in and out and the system here takes WAY too long. I'd love to have new system.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: Our 5 children have all attended Lincoln Academy over the past 10 years. We made the move to Lincoln Academy when our oldest child was in 6 grade based on Lincoln's superior Math and Language Arts curriculum, small class sizes, teacher child ratio as each elementary class and all junior high core classes have Teaching Assistants, ability grouping in math and the focus on history and science even in elementary school. The additional benefits we've learned as we've been a part of the Lincoln community for the past 10 years are: the incredible lunch program, that our children are known by name by every teacher, the opportunities our children have had to participate in leadership roles, sports and art programs they otherwise would not have had in larger schools. We also love that parent volunteers are welcomed and wanted in the classrooms and school. We are so grateful for how Lincoln has helped each of our children for the next chapter of their educational journey!... Read 9 reviews

Middle School Student: I am a 7th grader at North Star Academy. My School has athletics, academics, and fun. I am in a great environment with some wonderful teachers. I feel I am learning a lot, in History, Math, L.A., Art, Science, etc.. Here we follow SEM, we have testing out, and we know basic things like sentence structure that public schools teach in high school. Our school has three halls. The one hall middle school makes it hard to be late for class. I love mt school!!!... Read 4 reviews

Niche User: As a former teacher of Thomas Edison Charter school, I give my highest rating to the school! Teachers are thoroughly trained and held to a high standard. The community environment is incomparable. Parents are involved and active in student learning. Homework is an expectation. The students learn to work hard and they never ceased to amaze me with their growth and work ethic. I currently teach elsewhere, but would LOVE to return in the future.... Read 13 reviews

Parent: Love the educational philosophy! Renaissance provides students a great classroom education and numerous extra-curricular activities for them to explore their interests (pre-COVID of course). Their spaceship simulator program is a work of genius. The program immerses kids in live simulations that capture their imagination and give them opportunities to build their leadership skills....

Parent: My children have been going to Vista for 4 years. They have both loved it so much they get sad when its summer break. The education they receive here is wonderfully well rounded and yet not generalized. Kids have tons of opportunity to participate and excel in high class fun educational activities ranging from theater to robotics. Teachers care about their students and the school atmosphere is positive and educational. This is absolutely the best school!... Read 20 reviews

Freshman: The best part of Fairfield Junior High is that it only one floor so you can move quickly to your classes. FFJH also pays special attention to sports and academics. Most of the teachers are excellent, helpful, and educated. One of the not-so-great things at FFJH is some of the top choices for the substitutes, and the food they serve for lunch. Most of the substitutes don't know what they're talking about and in the end confuses me and my classmates. The change I would like to see in the school is the food they serve to be healthier....

Sophomore: The teachers and peers at my school are wonderful. Everyone here is understanding and welcoming; a perfect place to fit in. I've moved around my whole life, and DaVinci is arguably the best school I've been to. The counselors actually want to create a strong connection with you, not to mention, they are extremely flexible when you just want to talk, work out problems, or simply need schedule changes. The staff are some of the most loving people I have ever come across, and I would not be able to come back to school, day after day doing work, if it were not for their kindheartedness. The students here are committed to a positive environment, keeping everyone in good spirits here everyday. I love DaVinci. It's not just a school, it's a family, and I am forever grateful to be attending high school here.... Read 105 reviews

The staff and teachers are incredible and love all the students with their whole hearts. The parent involvement is inspiring. We’re so happy to be a part of such and amazing school!...

Parent: It’s such a great school! The environment is very friendly with a church close by. Snowhorse elementary is right next to Centennial, and it’s very close to highway 89. The children are great and they’re very good influences to others around them. There are a lot of service projects and the school is very good at helping the student to grow character, and to be selfless. Utah is a great place to live and I recommend it highly!...

Alum: I like that a lot of the courses were very self directed. I generally work well when given the freedom to go at my own pace. I would like to note that many of the classes are online, and if you cannot be self-motivated than this is not the school for you. Some of the teachers were great some of them were mildly annoying, just as most schools go. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and am glad I went there instead of somewhere else.... Read 4 reviews

Alum: My experience at Farmington Junior High School was honestly amazing! I was able to take some amazing classes, had some great teachers, and met some amazing friends. Some of my favorite teachers included my AP Human Geography teacher, my seventh grade English teacher, and my French teacher. While I enjoyed my experience at Farmington Junior the school was super old and not the nicest; however, this past summer they did re-do it and I have heard it is much nicer now. After my Farmington Junior experience there is nothing in particular that I would like to see change, the administration and staff were great, the teachers were helpful and kind, and there was an overall positive environment....
