Summary:
American Preparatory Academy has three elementary schools in Utah, all serving kindergarten through sixth grade, with a combined enrollment of about 2,329 students; the schools share the same American Preparatory Academy district but have very different academic profiles.
American Preparatory Academy - Draper #2 is the strongest option in the available data. It ranked 17th out of 563 Utah schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 97th percentile, after similarly strong results in the prior two years. Its proficiency rates were higher than district and state comparisons in every reported English language arts, mathematics, and science grade. Average proficiency was about 69% in English, 76% in mathematics, and 79% in science, with sixth-grade science reaching 83.1%. The school also had the group’s lowest chronic absenteeism rate, at 12.1%. American Preparatory Academy - Draper #1 has a positive historical record, including an 82nd-percentile ranking in 2018–19, and a low 13.2% absenteeism rate. However, current test scores and rankings were not provided, so its present academic standing is unclear.
American Preparatory Academy - The School for New Americans has the greatest academic and attendance challenges. It ranked 428th of 563 schools, in the 24th percentile, and its reported proficiency averages were approximately 32% in English, 33% in mathematics, and 43% in science. Sixth-grade science was a relative strength at 52.3%, but results remained below district and state comparisons. Chronic absenteeism was 22.8%, substantially higher than the other schools, making attendance a logical improvement priority. The school also reported a much higher free-or-reduced-price lunch rate, suggesting that families may have greater economic support needs. Overall, Draper #2 stands out for achievement, Draper #1 appears historically strong but needs updated data, and The School for New Americans would benefit from focused support in attendance, literacy, and mathematics.
