Cody Elementary School

Unfortunately growing up without a father made me resent the days where students dads could come and spend the whole day at the school, and unfortunately as a child with mental health problems, being punished for them instead of being heard made this elementary school difficult to go through. I was a new student when I was 9, and left the school at 11. I was young for my grade and definitely needed some extra help. UNFORTUNATELY having a mean and disrespectful principal did not help any of that . I used the word unfortunately a lot because this school definitely has potential but does not reach it and will not without new staff and new admin.

Norris is an amazing elementary school. I have three special needs children and we have been to several Millard schools. Overall Norris and its staff have always gone above and beyond to support my children and to support the families of children like mine. The staff is supportive, they have a lot of supports in place for my neurodivergent kiddos and continue to work on and develop supports. Many other peers of my children are disadvantaged and Norris does a great job at helping kiddos succeed in school despite struggling economically or with disabilities. As all schools do, there is teasing and bullying that occurs but Norris did an amazing job with supporting students who are being bullied. The staff are always open to suggestions. The entire school is full of educators who love what they do and genuinely care for their students. They go above and beyond. I highly recommend Norris elementary. It is located in an area that is more diverse than other areas of millard and not as affluent, but I think this gives them an advantage because despite being in a “lower income” area then many other millard schools with higher ratings, the school works hard to provide ALL of their students with a quality education without leaving other students behind due to income, race, or disability.

My children have attended Catlin since 2018 and it is the best school in OPS!! Classroom sizes are small which is great for learning! Students began learning the violin in second grade, band is offered in 5th grade and chorus. The PTA is very engaged and create fun family events creating a sense of community at Catlin. Catlin is a small school with the biggest heart, best teachers staff and support for students and families!

I had 2 children go to this school. The teachers at Oak Valley are fantastic. You can tell they enjoy what they do & try their best to meet the needs of each of their students. The class sizes are smaller & the building is really nice. Truely a gem among OPS

Amazing I used to go there and my whole family loves it.

Every teacher and staff member goes above and beyond to ensure the children's education and wellbeing are taken care of in the best possible way. I am so happy my kids are lucky enough to go here.
