Another reason why my opinion on this school is so low is as a Native American I was unable to wear any sort of cultural outfit or accessories for fear of getting a 1,000 dollar fine and having my diploma withheld. As a Native I find this unacceptable as the Catholic Church has caused the near extinction of my culture and blood. I would not ever go here again and would not send my child here.

I just wanted to leave a review for this amazing school. We attended here for 2 years and it was…read morean answer to our prayers. My son was struggling badly in school and we pulled him from our local school in the middle of 6th grade. Draper Academy and their staff and students welcomed him with open arms. They tested him and he was 2 grade levels behind in math and a bit behind in comprehension as well. This school was a place for him to rest, learn and recoup for a year and a half. He was able to relax, gain confidence in himself again and lovegoing to school every day! This school was such a gift for him. He is now in 8th grade and he just started at one of our local junior highs and we are a month into school and he has straight A's. He is flourishing and able to stay organized and is understanding his 8th grade math. I am beyond appreciative to Mrs. Chris for creating this school that is a haven for a chosen few who get to attend. We love Draper Academy and if your in the fence go give it a tour.

My daughter transferred to Channing Hall for 4th grade after we moved from another city. We chose…read morethis school because it presented itself as an IB and Platinum STEM charter school. However, after one year, we realized the school's priority is fundraising, not education. Communication with both the teacher and the school administration was extremely difficult. The teacher would only actively contact parents when requesting donations. Homework was never graded, and when we asked about it, the teacher told us she simply did not have time. The STEM curriculum was far too easy. Even though my daughter had skipped a grade, she was still often bored in class. The teacher at Channing Hall even placed her in a slow math group, despite the fact that she passed the school district's assessment and was invited to join the SALTA (Supporting Advanced Learners Toward Achievement) magnet program. When we requested a brief five-minute conversation after school at 1:30 p.m. to discuss our daughter's math placement, the teacher refused and had the front desk block us from entering the school. She claimed she was busy preparing for a STEM exhibition, even though the event didn't begin until 5:00 p.m. This unwillingness to communicate was a major red flag. The IB program is meant to provide an inquiry-based curriculum that fosters global awareness, but this was not the case at Channing Hall. The so-called "international" curriculum was superficial, limited to short readings about holidays or famous people, with no meaningful classroom discussion. The comprehension questions were simplistic and lacked depth. One more telling sign was that a teacher at Channing Hall planned to transfer her own daughter to a different school the following year. It is hard to have faith in a school when its own staff lacks confidence in the program. After one year, we transferred our daughter to another public school. Since then, she has been academically challenged and genuinely happy. Unfortunately, even after leaving Channing Hall, the communication difficulties continued. We requested a refund of the remaining balance in our daughter's lunch account, but despite repeated emails over two months to the Business Manager and later to the Head of School, we received no response. When we called to follow up, the front desk was very rude and impatient. Leadership at the school is also concerning. At other schools we have attended, principals are visible and approachable. At Channing Hall, my daughter never saw or even knew who the Head of School was. Combined with poor communication and an emphasis on flashy fundraising exhibitions over educational quality, this raises serious questions about the school's priorities. If you care about your children's education, look elsewhere. Don't let the "platinum" label fool you. There are many excellent public schools in the Canyons School District, and families can easily apply online to attend schools outside their neighborhood boundaries. You will likely have a far more professional and rewarding experience than we did at Channing Hall.

She was treated like she was somehow more special than any other kid. She used to bully, cyberbully, have her phone out, and more.

They only suspended her, never took her out of school. By the way, this is an OPINION. By the first amendment, I have the right to speak freely if I'm not being offensive. I just am saying what they did. Btw I'm posting this here because in google it is prob going to get removed just like my friend's.

Horrible Staff and teachers are inexperienced and overly harsh on students. It used to be better but most of the good teachers have left. They teach by fear. There are no resources available at the school. You will be paying for outside support and sports if interested. The staff is horrible and treat the students like military soldiers. The kids are not allowed to be children! You will have to pay for everything and don't get a decent education. The recesses are too short and and the kids don't even get one on Wednesday this year. Your child will have to memorize endless prayers in every class (PE, music and art). Homework is over the top here with at least 1.5 hours. My kids were miserable here! So happy we left! A lot of good families have left over the last few years as the school tolerates horrible children to stay (they may go to the office but never removed from the school, tuition is too important to the school). Also Skaggs school is hiding abuse cases, tolerating unacceptable behavior from teachers, the catholic school system in Utah is in trouble and it's apparent. Don't waste your money there are better places (public, private charter options) where your children will be much happier!

I'm proud to have opposed gender ideology. During dramatic play, boys ages 2 to 4 were dressed in Disney Princess shoes and dresses every day for at least 1hr, until I spoke up and the situation improved significantly. In return, I was treated very poorly. I had to work very hard ans sometimes with no help during my pregnancy. My daughter had such a lazy teacher that I just had to remind her to feed the children as they moved from daycare to elementary school. The work was unpleasant, and management changes were terrible. Now, the man who runs the daycare is a misogynist. It's terrible. If you enroll your child there, it's at your own risk. No guarantees, and I can fully attest to this. In addition the school tells you that to get more than cents as rise of salary you must pay for the CDA license but if you are dismissed with nor reason as me, you are going to throw your money by the window.

They also have a very strict uniform policy which sucks!!! The school only lets you have 10 absence and your kid have to make up all the homework from the days they were absent and usually the homework takes a hour or more to do. One time they let a kidnapper in the school without even noticing!!! So the kids saw the police coming in to look for the kidnapper, the worst part is they didn't even have a lock down!! So this school is not safe at all! We probably won't be coming back!

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more My son started attending this location in 2024. On his second day, I received a message from his teacher stating that he was disrupting nap time, being noisy, and causing other issues. I understood that adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for young children, so I took their concerns seriously and worked with my son to reinforce quiet time. However, I continued receiving messages from his teacher daily, and it reached the point where I was anxiously anticipating another complaint. One day, I noticed his nap blanket was covered in leaves, as if he had been outside. When I asked him, he told me that he did his "quiet time" outside. When we inquired about this, the school denied it. Later, I was called into a meeting with the behavioral technician, Jessica Triptow. At the time, I had no idea about her legal troubles (you can google it) but in hindsight, knowing she was involved in my child's education is deeply unsettling. During the meeting, we were advised to enroll our son full-time to help him adjust to the routine. He was later moved to another class with a more patient teacher. During another meeting, I had the opportunity to review the classroom cameras and witnessed a disturbing incident where a teacher forcefully picked up a child who refused to go inside after playtime and dropped him roughly. Thankfully, the child was not an infant, but it was still highly concerning. Eventually, the school suggested that my son be evaluated for possible autism this recommendation was made by Jessica Triptow (which by the way, made it to the news for very disturbing reasons, you can google it) Shortly after, we were informed that he could not return unless we provided a classroom "shadow" at our own expense, so basically paying another person to do their job . This entire experience was frustrating, stressful, and deeply disappointing. In retrospect, I am relieved that we decided to remove our child from this location. I have since spoken to other parents who shared similar concerns about this center. While I hope other locations uphold higher standards, I cannot in good conscience recommend this one. I initially had high expectations, but unfortunately, our experience was nothing like what we had hoped for. Another shady thing is that they hide their google reviews, I guess I should've seen those red flags.

It affected her cognitive abilities and she was forced to miss a good amount of school as well as special events of senior year. The kind, discreet response of the teachers and administrative staff blew us all away. They were fiercely protective of her. My daughter is pretty private but the students and their parents who knew were equally as amazing! Character was high with the kids (they didn't gossip much like you might find at another school, held her confidences and, as a result, feel like the school will forever be in my heart. The only issue that holds me back is that I feel it can be very rules heavy, a bit punitive (kids were expelled and punished for little). It lacks a vibrant social scene, can be a bit provincial in its academic and enriching offerings and can tend to mute students from sharing thoughts and expressing themselves. The last thing is that students don't really head committees or initiatives in junior or senior year... they really should and parents should be nowhere to be found. High school is the time to try new things and fail. Prom committee, the school store, a real school newspaper...They really aren't encouraged to as the parent body leads all. This proved tougher when my daughter went off to high school. Other than that, great school with great classes and teachers, special kids and- for the most part- a wonderful, warm parent body. Thank you Waterford!
