Summary:
Schools in Beehive Science & Technology Academy include two schools serving grades K–12 at the same address in Sandy, Utah: Beehive Science & Technology Academy Elementary serves grades K–6, while Beehive Science & Technology Academy serves grades 6–12.
The grades 6–12 school is the stronger overall performer. It ranks 48th out of 139 Utah high schools, placing it at the 65th percentile, and its middle-grade students generally outperform state averages in English, mathematics, and science. Mathematics is a particular strength, including 68.8% proficiency in Grade 7 and 54.8% in Grade 8. English results remain above state levels in Grades 9 and 10, and Grade 9 science is also strong. Its main academic concern is high-school mathematics, where proficiency is slightly below state results in both Grades 9 and 10. Attendance is a notable strength: chronic absenteeism is 21.1%, below both the district’s 37.3% and Utah’s 23.8%.
The elementary school has a more mixed profile but recently improved its ranking, rising from 335th to 286th statewide and from the 39th to the 49th percentile. Its strongest results are in Grade 5, where English, mathematics, and science all exceed state comparisons. Grade 3 English and mathematics, along with Grade 4 English and science, are areas that may need additional support. The largest concern is chronic absenteeism, which is 53.0%—far higher than the grades 6–12 school, the district, and the state. Both schools have similar enrollment, student-teacher ratios near 17:1, and relatively similar rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility. Families comparing the schools should weigh the elementary attendance challenge against its improving Grade 5 performance, while recognizing the older school’s stronger academic and attendance profile.
