The Accelerated School has relatively average attendance but notably weak upper-grade math results, a graduation rate below the district and state, and an elevated dropout rate. The School for New Americans has the lowest reported ranking, low proficiency across subjects, and 22.8% chronic absenteeism; its students may need especially strong academic, attendance, and transition support. American Preparatory Academy – Draper #1 has limited current performance data, so comparisons are less certain. Overall, the schools vary considerably, making the specific campus more important than the networkwide average.
