Courage2Stand Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) I'm living out of the U.S. right now and am looking to go to my Junior year of High School in Utah this August. Does anybody recommend any good high schools in Utah? I'm looking for a higher level academic school and isn't too small (anything more than 500 students is fine). I kind of liked Timpview High in Provo. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Edited February 2, 2010 by Courage2Stand Quote
AmyKate88 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Well... A lot of my friends went to Alta and Riverton HS, and they liked it quite a bit. I didn't go to high school in Utah so I can't offer any direct experience, but those are my recommendations based on my friends. What made you decide to come to Utah for high school? Quote
pam Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 My daughter went to Alta High School and enjoyed it there. It's got a huge student population. Rates high in the state in academic testing etc. Quote
bytebear Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 You could always do Judge (The private Catholic High School). I went to Olympus, but that was a million years ago. Quote
pam Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 but that was a million years ago. I think we have now solved the mystery concerning who is the oldest on this site. Quote

StrawberryFields Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 Seriously, I have friends who went to Alta and it was just as brutal as the rest of Utah HS. I have to wonder why you want to go to HS in Utah. From your OP it sounds like you are choosing this. Quote
Moksha Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 Probably the Utah high school that best meets LDS standards is Juan Diego in Draper, Utah. It is a K-12 type school. BTW, Hi everybody. Quote
Elphaba Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 BTW, Hi everybody.Welcome back! Elph Quote
pam Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 How old is your daughter? One of my mission companions went to Alta. She's 20. Quote

What made you decide to come to Utah for high school?I'm from America and have been living in Japan for two years and I wanted to experience a year of high school before I went off to BYU. I'm originally from Washington and I like skiing/dirt biking so I wanted to go to a place in the west like Colorado or Utah that's right in the mountains with lots of outdoor stuff to do. I thought it would be cool to go to a place (high school) with a lot of lds kids around. I am kind of choosing where in Utah I want to go. I have quite a few missionary friends in different places in Utah whose parents have invited me to go live with them for a year. I want to go to a public high school but other than that I'm pretty flexible.Thanks for all the input everyone! Quote

Wingnut Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 She's 20.Okay never mind. My companion is 29 or 30 by now. I knew you weren't old enough to have a daughter that age -- I don't know why I asked.I'm from America and have been living in Japan for two years and I wanted to experience a year of high school before I went off to BYU.

If you're planning on spending the following four years in Provo, take advantage of the opportunity to go somewhere else for a year first. Quote
Tarnished Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 As I majored in Secondary English Education while in Utah and heard the rumors about the school systems there I will not add my advice on the matter as it sounds like you want to attend a school there. Instead I will say that this sounds like a fun adventure for you, and I wish you good luck at BYU when you get there! Quote
