The Sutherland Institute

The Sutherland Institute’s philosophy is simple: We believe that parents are responsible for their childrens' education and that the state role in education is primarily as a support to parents. We also believe that educational freedom is a necessary ingredient in providing the best education possible for each individual student.

Utah School Rankings

In 2006 the Utah State Legislature passed legislation that no longer requires 11th grades in Utah public schools to take the IOWA Test of Basic Skills. As a result of this, the most recent scores available for these schools are from 2006. The Sutherland Institute is currently working to provide other ways to rank these schools.
