American Preparatory Academy - Draper #3 outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in RISE/Mathematics, RISE/Science, Utah Aspire Plus/English Language Arts, Utah Aspire Plus/Mathematics, and Utah Aspire Plus/Science. The school's strongest performance is in RISE/Science, with 76.8% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to 49.7% statewide. The school also boasts a 4-year graduation rate of 88.8%, which is higher than the state average, and a dropout rate of 9.4%, which is lower than the state average.
While the school's academic performance is impressive, its relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (17.96%) may indicate that it serves a more affluent student population, which could raise concerns about equity and access to high-quality education for students from lower-income backgrounds. However, the school's lower per-student spending compared to the state average, combined with its strong academic performance, suggests it is efficiently allocating its resources to support student learning. The school's higher student-teacher ratio compared to the state average may present some challenges, but its overall performance and ranking within the American Preparatory Academy district and the state of Utah make it a standout institution.
