My children love Granite. Although the academic standards in Utah as a whole are disappointing, Granite does a great job. With our limited time here, the teachers have been happy to go the extra mile to provide a challenge or extra assistance for my children.

This school is excellent for both college preparation and career preparation. For future college students, they offer a wide array of AP courses. For non college, they offer courses in a variety of trades. The school offers a college like atmosphere where the students are given a lot of responsibility in their education. This is great for motivated kids, but there are plenty of unmotivated kids who skip a lot of classes and do poorly. The school is criticized for lack of diversity, and I agree with that because the area is mostly rich, white and liberal. The rich, white, liberal kids tend to be entitled, spoiled and LAZY. Our son was not raised like this. He goes to school every day, does not skip classes, works hard on his homework, studies for tests, and goes to bed at a decent time to get a good night's sleep. With these habits, he makes mostly As, but he has plenty of friends who have bad habits and get poor or mediocre grades. Education is what you make it. This school gives students every opportunity to excel, but they cannot force kids to do their homework or prevent kids from staying up all night wasting time on social media and Tiktok.

I was previously a student here. This school is great if you don't care about friends. Albion students think exactly the same way, and if you aren't on any athletic team or aren't of the popular religion, you are going have to a hard time. I found that seventh grade honors math wasn't challenging, but eighth grade honors was. I think they need harder social studies and science classes, possibly an honors course. However, I think that most of the teachers are great and they really try to help you. I had one teacher that if I had a differently look on my face she would ask if I was okay. I think the counselors and staff are great. I also like the principal that was new to the 2014-2015 year much more than the other one. Even though many things at this school is great, the students that attend are what bring it down.
