Summary:
The Leadership Academy of Utah area has one public school, Leadership Academy of Utah, serving students in grades 6–12 in Clearfield, Utah. The school enrolls 497 students and reports a relatively low student–teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1. Because it is the only school in the Leadership Academy of Utah district, there are no meaningful school-to-school comparisons in this area.
Several indicators are encouraging for families. The school improved from 50th of 138 schools, at the 64th percentile with three stars, in 2024–2025 to 37th of 139, at the 73rd percentile with four stars, in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was just 7.6%, well below Utah’s 23.8% statewide rate, suggesting that students who remain enrolled generally attend consistently. Academic results were especially strong in English language arts: ninth-grade proficiency reached 64.3%, compared with 45.4% statewide, and eighth-grade ELA was 51.9%, compared with 45.6% statewide. Eighth-grade science also exceeded the state rate, while eighth-grade math was nearly equal to Utah’s result.
Parents should also consider several important challenges. The 74.6% graduation rate was below Utah’s 89.8% rate, while the reported dropout rate of 23.9% was much higher than the statewide 8.5% figure. Mathematics is the most consistent academic concern, with results below the state in several grades, particularly sixth grade, where performance was reported below 20%, and tenth grade, reported in the 10–29% range. Sixth-grade ELA and science also trailed statewide results, indicating that the transition into middle school may need additional support. Overall, the school shows improving rankings, strong attendance, and notable ELA performance, but families should ask about graduation support, student retention, and math interventions.
