Summary:
Summit Academy serves 2,567 students across four Utah schools: Summit Academy - Independence and Summit Academy - Draper Campus serve grades PK–8, Summit Academy - Bluffdale serves PK–6, and Summit Academy High School serves K–12. The district ranks 43rd of 92 Utah districts, placing it near the state average at the 53rd percentile.
For current elementary performance, Bluffdale is the standout. It earned a five-star rating and ranked in the 91st percentile in 2025–26, with stronger reported English, math, and science results than the district in every available comparison. Its math performance was especially strong, including 78.1% proficiency in third grade and 65.0% in sixth grade. However, its reported chronic absenteeism rate was 75.1%, the highest among the four schools, so families may want to ask how attendance is defined and how the school is addressing it. Independence is the largest campus, serving 830 students, but its ranking declined to the 41st percentile. It performed best in the upper grades, including an exceptional eighth-grade science result of 79.6%, while grades 4–6 math results were weaker. Draper has a strong historical record, including 98th-percentile rankings in 2011–12 and 2012–13, but current test results were not provided.
The high school offers a relatively strong 91.5% graduation rate, matching the district and exceeding Utah’s 89.8%, but math proficiency was low in both tested grades, at 22.9% in ninth grade and 20.3% in tenth grade. Attendance is a system-wide concern: every school exceeded the state chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, including Draper at 61.4%, Independence at 56.1%, and the high school at 38.8%. Families comparing campuses should also note that historical spending figures are from 2018–19 and may not reflect current resources. Overall, Bluffdale currently shows the strongest academic momentum, Independence needs focused support in middle-elementary grades, Draper requires updated performance information, and the high school should prioritize mathematics while maintaining its graduation success.
