Hi there--
My family is in kind of a unique transitional period. My hubby has ended one job and is looking for a totally new path. I am a SAHM who teaches fitness classes on the side, and the kiddos (ages 10, 8, 6 and 4) are off school for the summer. My husband and two oldest boys are completely obsessed with all things biking, and now we have an exciting opportunity to potentially become a part of a well-known business in Moab.

The catch? It would require a big move. From Iowa to Moab. One of the things we really value is education, and our town is well know for top-knotch schools, as well as being home to a state university. Obviously, the school district in Moab is much smaller than the one we'd be coming from. What can you tell me about the schools in Moab? Any thoughts about the charter school? There aren't many parent comments on the schools review websites. Thanks!

I can't speak about Moab specifically, but in general rural Utah is not known for the quality of its schools, and underfunding is a chronic statewide problem.

www.GreatSchools.net rates schools within a state against one another. Moab's schools are very low in comparison to other Utah schools. 1-10 where 10 is tops.

I'm especially curious to hear for anyone who knows about the Moab charter school and what his or her experiences have been like there!
