Utah School Report Card | Winter Sports School
As required, we will post a link here to each year’s updated School Report Card issued according to USBE’s Accountability procedures. Due to the schedule of our assessments in the fall of the year, the USBE Accountability team has not yet figured out how to aggregate our test data with the rest of the state data that is collected the following spring; as such does not have sufficient data to issue us ratings on growth and achievement this year.
