Layton High School

Horrible school. They don’t care about bullying and don’t try to fix anything except make it worse and in fact the staff actually bullies too. The way I was treated many years ago at this school was not the best at all far from it and now my sister is going through it and is getting it 20x worse and the school is VERY aware yet they just don’t care. Telling one student they can’t have their own out before/after school when they’ve already been told by higher ups they can have their phone out during that time and every other student that has a phone has theirs out, that isn’t fair in the slightest nor okay. Also taking a student after school and not notifying parents is not okay at all you don’t know if theirs someone waiting on that child. Ridiculous. Just about entire staff needs to be changed cause absolutely nothing is okay with that school they simply couldn’t care about what’s going on at all.

This school WAS decent from 2023-early 2025. New administration has taken over and they are disorganized, unfair, and do not communicate. Many staff are fed up. Things have gone astray and kids are not important here.

There are a few really great teachers that care about the kids and and teach the subjects good. There are few that aren't so great the " not so great" teachers in the older grades often don't do anything when the kids swear and swear themselves sometimes too. So if you get a one of the good teachers this is a great school. If you get one of the "not so great teachers" when you are sitting it class it sounds great to just sink into the ground. There is also a ton of subjects that kids talk about that probably should not be discussed at school. This isn't really a squeaky clean school.

Teachers need more training. School front office are super nice.

The school is great. The principal is awful. Some of the teachers are also combative and defensive when we tried working with them on issues my daughter has medically they spun it around on my child. Very accusatory and unwavering. I do NOT like the Principal or his style of administration or the way he treats the kids.He needs to be gone and not making decisions for children. As for his staff, I have had many wonderful encounters from teachers at the school with a few that are just awful.I'm pulling my child out so he can learn in a better environment at home. And yes....we did have a 504 plan which they would take my concerns for accommodations and make them very vague. At the end of one of our meetings, I was in absolute tears. My son will never be going back to public school again and If I had the money, I'd sue.
