Parent: Our 7th grader has thrived at SLArts, and we've appreciated how seriously the school has taken COVID precautions. Academically the work is challenging and the teachers have high expectations, but the school also takes students' social-emotional health into account and implements multiple layers of support to ensure that kids are able to succeed....

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

Parent: Students genuinely seem happy to learn at GWA. I heard a boy say his family moved to GWA because he was always being bullied at another school and he grinned and said the teachers wont let anyone bully anyone here. I really like the Leader in Me program at GWA too. The children seem more responsible and confident. The teachers work way beyond the call of duty and genuinely care for the students. Even during the closure, teachers were already online teaching long before the rest of the schools and they were so helpful by email and phone. They really care! We love GWA.... Read 16 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: Absolutely the BEST school we visited when trying to make a decision where to send our kids! We have been sending our kids to this school for 5 years now and don’t see us going anywhere else in the foreseeable future. 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!...

Parent: Mountainville Academy is such a great school! The small class sizes provide opportunities for my children to have more one on one learning with their teachers. The teachers know each student individually and really care about the success of each child. The school also has a lot of options to involve students in things beyond the classroom including, but not limited to, cross country, girls volleyball, boys and girls basketball, student council, student senate etc. I have had all of my children attend Mountainville Academy and would highly recommend it if you are wanting something a little more for your student's education beyond the public school option....

Freshman: Farmington Jr. High is a very good school. I love all of the teachers and the academic program is amazing! Something that I would like to see change is the Diversity. Although it's average I think we could be a little more united and excepting. I think people should be able to be who they really are and not be made fun of.... Read 15 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
