South Davis Jr High School

My son has spent three years at this school and it has all been a good experience!

My child was in the special needs until I found out she wad threatened by the aid to not tell me or her father anything or she would be punished and put in time out. The principal Karen Miller chose to defend the aid over the child. This school also has issues with to many children in special needs and not enough aids or help. I would avoid this school.

Excellent teachers and staff work hard to meet students needs

This school came highly recommended from many people that I knew. I brought my son there and he went for a school year, and I have never loved a decision more. The teachers that work there love your children.. They are invested in, not only teaching them, but helping them grow as individuals. They don’t treat them like they’re just watching your children. They know all the little details and things that would comfort your child inspire your child, and motivate your child. They handle things in such a caring, responsible, and reasonable way. I love that the kids just play and they are allowed to be themselves. The teachers are firm and uphold rules, but are so good at redirecting and so kind. Especially with the little ones. I have never been somewhere where I have heard the little teachers speak so tenderly to them. I would recommend this place to anybody. I would absolutely send more of my children there, I love the school and I will continue to find ways to support them. I think they are amazing. Well worth it. best option I could have ever found. In a world where everything has become so digital, the kids are so much happier and play so much better. And they learn so much. I love that. They are learning another language. This helps in so many ways. It’s only going to set them up for much more success in life. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure that these kids are fed well, learn, manners, learn, interpersonal skills, and learn that they are valuable, and unique individuals. The one on one that they get for learning. You won’t find anywhere else. It’s balanced out with good clean fun and playing. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We wanted to love this school. Unfortunately, if your child is not a robot the teacher's and principal will not know what to do. It feels very "old fashioned" in the approach to disipline. My biggest concern is a total lack of Catholic identify. The teachers, Vice Principal and Principal sure expect students to be living a Christian life, when they themselves don't emulate the same. Administration is constantly yelling and lecturing students. Nearly daily my students have a story of somebody yelling at them for something. In no way is this what you would expect from a Catholic school and I have heard that even more families will be moving after what has been experienced this year. Some of the new teachers who have come in are great. Some have already quit. The new principal has done well at sprucing up the campus, but that's about as much as she has done to help this school thrive. They need a new administration who actually cares about the families. The VP needs to go (not even sure she has a teaching credential).
