Syracuse Arts Academy

Syracuse Arts Academy includes two schools serving grades K–9 in the Syracuse, Utah area: the K–9 alternative Syracuse Arts Academy - Antelope and the K–6 elementary Syracuse Arts Academy - North, with 1,718 students combined. The district ranks 14th among 92 Utah districts, placing it in the 85th percentile and earning a four-star rating.

Syracuse Arts Academy - North has the strongest documented academic results. In 2025–2026, about 61% of reported subject-and-grade results were proficient on RISE tests, and the school exceeded statewide rates in every available English language arts, mathematics, and science comparison. Its strongest result was sixth-grade science, with 73.2% of students proficient. North also generally performed above district averages, although fifth-grade mathematics and science were exceptions. Fifth grade is the main area to watch because it had the lowest overall results and the largest year-over-year declines in mathematics and science. North’s chronic absenteeism rate was 12.6%, below both the district rate of 14.5% and the Utah rate of 23.8%, though its reported student-teacher ratio was higher than Antelope’s at 20.8 to 1.

Syracuse Arts Academy - Antelope is the larger campus, with 988 students compared with North’s 730, and serves a wider K–9 grade span. It reported a lower student-teacher ratio of 17.4 to 1, but its chronic absenteeism rate was higher than North’s at 16.0%, slightly above the district rate while still below the state rate. School-specific academic results were not provided for Antelope, so the available information does not support a direct academic ranking between the two schools. Families should also be cautious when comparing historical per-student spending because the figures are from 2018–2019 and the campuses have different grade ranges and missions. Overall, North stands out for documented academic achievement and attendance, while Antelope offers a larger alternative K–9 setting with a lower reported student-teacher ratio.
