Summary:
Summit Academy has three elementary campuses in Utah—two serving prekindergarten through eighth grade and one serving prekindergarten through sixth grade—with enrollment ranging from 537 to 830 students. The campuses share a district ranking of 43rd out of 92 Utah districts, but their current school-level results differ considerably. Families should also note that chronic absenteeism is high at every campus, ranging from 56.1% to 75.1%, compared with 23.8% statewide.
Summit Academy – Bluffdale is the strongest current academic performer in the available data. Its 2025–26 ranking reached the 91st percentile, up from the 60th percentile the previous year, and its average proficiency across grades 3–6 was 62.3% in English language arts, 68.9% in mathematics, and 70.7% in science. These results were above both district and state averages in every available common-grade comparison. However, Bluffdale also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate, at 75.1%, and its seventh-grade mathematics result is suppressed, so that performance cannot be evaluated.
Summit Academy – Independence is the largest campus, with 830 students, but its current ranking fell to the 41st percentile. Grades 3–6 averages were lower than Bluffdale’s, particularly in mathematics, where Independence averaged 41.1% compared with Bluffdale’s 68.9%. Sixth-grade mathematics was Independence’s weakest result at 34.1%, although eighth-grade science was a notable strength at 79.6%. Summit Academy – Draper Campus has the lowest student–teacher ratio, 15.9:1, and strong historical rankings, including the 98th percentile in 2011–12 and 2012–13, but no recent test scores are available. Parents comparing campuses should therefore view Bluffdale as the strongest current academic option, Independence as more mixed by grade and subject, and Draper as historically strong but currently difficult to assess.
