The teachers here are amazing and understanding. Some know that as a senior, senioritis hits hard and they are willing to help you through those struggles. There are plenty resources and great courses. There are many opportunities to advance your knowledge here.

Best part of layton high school was the teachers, I connected with teaches on such a deep level and it made me feel seen. Worst part about layton high is that there is no diversity. If you don’t belong to the predominant religion you are outcasted.

Overall it was an ok school to go to, my least favorite thing is that a lot of the teachers are not very nice, my current theater teacher will yell at the student and grab us and push us around the stage. This does not create a safe feeling environment in the theater and I would like to see that change. Many others of my teachers just seem to not care whether we pass or fail and I have to fight to use my 5o4 because a lot of my teachers do not want to respect it. I have liked the friends that I have made and the diversity in classes at layton high. I am taking a greenhouse class for my last semester and am very excited!
