Summary

Quest Academy is a public alternative school in West Haven, Utah, serving 1,009 students in grades K–9. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 21.6:1, and 22.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Its latest academic results are a major strength: Quest exceeded Utah averages in every reported 2025–26 tested grade and subject, including English language arts, mathematics, and science.

Quest’s strongest area is science, where proficiency ranged from 55.2% to 76.0% in grades 4–8, compared with about 52.3% statewide on average. English language arts proficiency averaged approximately 59.7% in grades 3–8, versus about 45.4% statewide, while mathematics averaged approximately 57.5%, about 12.8 points above Utah’s average. Ninth-grade results were also impressive: 70.9% were proficient in ELA, 60.6% in mathematics, and 68.9% in science. Compared with nearby alternatives such as North Davis Preparatory Academy, Venture Academy, Davinci Academy, and Ogden Preparatory Academy, Quest generally posted substantially higher proficiency rates, especially in eighth- and ninth-grade testing.

Attendance has improved steadily, with chronic absenteeism falling from 32.4% in 2021–22 to 22.1% in 2024–25—slightly better than Utah’s 23.8% rate. However, that remains higher than at North Davis Preparatory Academy and Davinci Academy, both at 11.2%. Parents may also want to watch middle-grade math: sixth- and eighth-grade results declined year over year, even though they remained above state averages. Overall, Quest stands out for broad, consistently strong achievement, with attendance, staffing levels, and middle-grade math as the main areas to monitor.

Open Quote Quest Academy is the very best choice I could have made for my children educationally. The curriculum is individualized, and students are not held back progress wise. I know that my child, who is now in high school, would not be doing as well as he is, if we had kept him in the school we were attending previously. The campus is beautiful. There are two buildings, one for k-4, and one for 5-9. The buildings are spotless, and lend to the overall learning environment. The teachers, administration, and staff care about my children. They are easy to contact, and share concerns with. Students are not grouped with students in other grades. There are accelerated programs, as well as programs to help students that need additional help. The technology available is impressive. I love that my child does work on PC and MAC computers. My keyboarding skills and overall expertise with computers pales in comparison to that of my children. In this technology driven society we live in, I feel this will only put my child ahead of other students who do not have similar opportunities. Close Quote

Open Quote If I could give Quest zero stars I would. The curriculum is terrible, the administration is even worse. At the beginning of the year they test the kids school wide. The kids are then placed in "groups" according to where they tested. My second graders reading group had kids k-5th grade. My 3rd grader tested 4th grade for math, so he was placed in a 4th grade math group. Then he started 4th grade and tested 3rd grade for math so as a 4th grader was placed in 3rd grade math. That proved to me the system was a failure. When I questioned this system, I was told they are following the public school guidelines. I don't believe they are following the guidelines by placing 5th graders in reading groups with kindergartners. The school is terribly over crowded because they continue to add grades every year. Quest has a building intended to house k-6 but is now being used for k-8 with plans to add 9th next year. In order to do this they have added a bunch of portable classrooms. They have dedicated an entire computer lab to "jr. high". The jr. high does not run like a jr. high, they have cubbies like pre-schoolers, located by the front office. If the jr. high kids leave anything in their cubby at the end of the day the school throws it away. The PTA runs at least one fund raiser a month,which they will exclude children from activities if they don't sell the junk. The parking lot is the most dangerous place I have ever been. There are very few adults outside at pickup time and kids are running everywhere. Siblings are not together kids are supposed to be separated by grade making parents make several stops to pick up. The administration is defensive and unwilling to listen to suggestions. My kids were there 1 year and 1 quarter, moving them was the best decision I have made. Close Quote
