Best Elementary Schools in Draper, UT

Draper, Utah, has seven elementary schools serving about 4,625 students, with grade spans ranging from K–5 to PK–8. Three schools—Draper School, Willow Springs School, and Oak Hollow School—are part of the Canyons District. American Preparatory Academy - Draper #2 and American Preparatory Academy - Draper #1 serve through sixth grade, while Channing Hall serves K–8 and Summit Academy - Draper Campus serves PK–8. Because the schools have different grade spans and some current data is missing, comparisons should focus on similar grades and subjects.

The strongest current academic results are at American Preparatory Academy - Draper #2, ranked 17th of 563 Utah schools and in the 97th percentile. It led the group in current English, math, and science results, while also reporting low chronic absenteeism of 12.1%. Channing Hall ranks second among schools with current rankings and has shown major improvement, especially in fourth- and fifth-grade math and science, but its 30.5% absenteeism rate is a concern. Draper School is stronger in fifth grade than fourth grade, whereas Willow Springs School is a relatively stable middle performer.

Oak Hollow School has the lowest current ranking among schools with recent results, and its ranking and math and science performance declined, although its absenteeism rate is relatively low at 16.7%. Current academic results are unavailable for American Preparatory Academy - Draper #1 and Summit Academy - Draper Campus, so their present achievement cannot be fairly judged from this information. Summit Academy - Draper Campus does warrant attention for its unusually high 61.4% chronic absenteeism rate. Parents should consider current test results, attendance, grade span, and the specific strengths of the grade their child would enter.
