 * About Oquirrh Elementary**
 * The school is a flexible space building with a combination of self-contained classrooms and open areas. This attractive school was opened in 1979. Because of a fire, it was rebuilt and opened in February 1995.
 * Oquirrh has been a year-round school since 1986. Students are divided into four attendance groups or tracks. Each track is in school for 45 days followed by 15 days of vacation. The school takes a common vacation during the month of July.
 * The school day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:25 p.m. except on Fridays when school is dismissed at 1:25 p.m. to allow teachers time for planning.
 * The teacher/pupil ratio is 1 to 26.3 in grades four, five and six.
 * The faculty includes both new and experienced teachers. Many have advanced university degrees. A majority of the teachers regularly participate in in-service classes to improve teaching skills.
 * The school curriculum follows the State Core Curriculum guidelines. The learning objectives for each grade level are carefully defined.
 * Teachers use a team teaching approach, but students typically work with their own teacher in basic subjects.

 * __Criterion Referenced Tests (CRT)__**

The Core Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs) are administered at the end of each school year to help assess how well students have mastered the standards and objectives set forth in the State of Utah Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science core curricula. Student achievement is reported as the percent of students reaching “proficient” by earning a Level 3 or Level 4 performance on the Core CRT.
