Salt Lake Academy High School

The Salt Lake Academy High School area has one high school, Salt Lake Academy High School, serving grades 9–12 in Herriman, Utah, with 403 students and a student-teacher ratio of 18.8 to 1.

For parents, the school’s strongest results are in graduation and student persistence. Its graduation rate is 92.9%, higher than Utah’s 89.8%, while its dropout rate is 7.1%, below the statewide 8.5%. However, chronic absenteeism is a major concern: 30.4% of students are chronically absent, compared with 23.8% statewide. Attendance may be an important focus because students who miss substantial instructional time can have more difficulty keeping up academically. The school’s reported free- and reduced-price lunch participation is 5.46%, though that figure should be interpreted carefully because program participation and reporting practices can vary.

Academic performance is considerably below Utah averages in every reported subject and grade. In 2025–26, proficiency ranged from 9.8% in 10th-grade mathematics to 27.2% in 10th-grade English Language Arts, while the school’s statewide gaps ranged from about 20 to 31 percentage points. Mathematics showed encouraging improvement, rising 8.6 points in 9th grade and 2.2 points in 10th grade, and 10th-grade science increased by 3.1 points. In contrast, English Language Arts declined in both grades, and 9th-grade science also fell. The school’s rankings have remained near the bottom of the reported comparison group, although the latest historical percentile improved slightly. Overall, the school appears effective at helping students remain enrolled and graduate, but parents should ask about attendance supports, literacy and math intervention, science instruction, and plans to raise assessment results.
