Summary:
Hawthorn Academy is a public charter school district in South Jordan, Utah, serving elementary students in grades K-6. The district has one school, Hawthorn Academy South Jordan, which has a diverse student population of 589 students.
Hawthorn Academy South Jordan has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 260th out of 551 Utah elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 290th out of 561 in 2022-2023, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2 stars. The school's test scores show significant variability across grade levels and subject areas, with 6th graders performing well in English Language Arts and Science, but 4th graders struggling in both ELA and Math. This uneven academic performance may be due to the school's below-average spending per student and higher-than-recommended student-teacher ratio of 20.5 to 1.
Despite these challenges, Hawthorn Academy serves a diverse student population, with 61.12% White, 22.92% Hispanic, and 5.26% Asian students. Ensuring equitable educational opportunities and support for all students, regardless of their background, should be a priority for the school as it works to improve its overall quality and outcomes for its students.
