Summary:
Hawthorn Academy has one elementary school, Hawthorn Academy South Jordan, serving kindergarten through 6th grade in South Jordan, Utah. The school enrolls 621 students, has a 20:1 student-teacher ratio, and reports that 25.93% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Because it is the only school in the Hawthorn Academy list, families should focus on its grade-level and subject-specific results rather than comparisons among schools.
The school’s strongest recent academic results are in 5th grade and 6th-grade Science. In 2025–2026, 5th-grade proficiency was 49.1% in English Language Arts, 55.3% in Mathematics, and 52.6% in Science. Fifth-grade Mathematics was especially strong, exceeding both district and statewide results. Sixth-grade Science was the highest individual result at 59.0%, slightly above the Utah rate. Mathematics is the school’s most competitive subject overall compared with the district, although 6th-grade Mathematics remains a concern at 31.2%. English Language Arts is the weakest subject overall, with proficiency of 28.8% in 3rd grade and 33.7% in 4th grade. Sixth-grade ELA was 42.4%, below district and state results.
Recent trends are mixed. Mathematics improved in 5th and 6th grade but declined in 3rd and 4th grade; 6th-grade Mathematics rose from 24.6% to 31.2%. Science improved in 6th grade but declined in 4th and 5th grade. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern: 37.1% of students were chronically absent, compared with 23.8% statewide. The school’s latest ranking was in the 38th percentile, down from the 50th percentile the prior year. For families evaluating the school, the main questions are how it is supporting early literacy, improving 6th-grade Mathematics, maintaining 5th-grade gains, and addressing attendance.
