Should I move to Salt Lake City?
So I have toe opertunity to move to slc. im from canada and im not sure what the schooling is like. Since Im only in HS, Im not sure if I would be behind since Ive done Canadian schooling all my life. Right now Im living with my mom but were having trouble getting along. The only things that worries me is the school! Please tell me about american high school and the Salt Lake City areas like Ogden and Logan. Where are the good parts and the bad.

- The schooling here in Utah is good. Utah students rank very high on standardized tests. The bad? The classrooms have a lot of students and the teachers are overworked and underpaid.
There are a few areas that have a "rep" as having worse schools than others, but my information is only based on here-say. The main two areas are Ogden and the upper west side of SLC (the West Valley City area).
If you want a "famous" school, East High in SLC was where they filmed High School Musical.
Here are two links to help you out. Using these links, you can find out graduation rates, race/ethnic mixes, teacher/student ratio, etc.
