Utah Military Academy

The Utah Military Academy system includes two public schools serving grades 6–12 in Riverdale and Lehi: Utah Military Academy and Utah Military Academy - Camp Williams. Together, they enroll 952 students and are part of the Utah Military Academy district, which ranks 84th of 92 Utah districts in the supplied data.

Utah Military Academy in Riverdale is the stronger school overall by statewide ranking and high-school assessment results. It ranked in the 24th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the 6th percentile for Utah Military Academy - Camp Williams in Lehi. Riverdale also had higher Grade 9 and 10 results in English, mathematics, and science. Its best reported result was Grade 9 science at 45.6%, close to Utah’s 49.7%. However, Riverdale still trails state results in most subjects, and its middle-school mathematics scores were particularly low: 14% in Grade 7 and 12.5% in Grade 8.

Camp Williams has several notable strengths. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 92.7%, above Utah’s 89.8%, and its 16.0-to-1 student–teacher ratio is more favorable than Riverdale’s 19.2-to-1 ratio. Camp Williams also performed better in the available Grade 7 and 8 mathematics results, although its high-school mathematics scores were very weak, including 6.6% in Grade 10. The most urgent concern at both schools is chronic absenteeism: 47.2% at Riverdale and 43.7% at Camp Williams, compared with 23.8% statewide. Parents should therefore weigh Riverdale’s stronger overall academic profile against Camp Williams’ smaller size, better graduation rate, and middle-school math advantage, while recognizing that attendance and high-school math need improvement across the system.
