Summary:
The area has one high school, Salt Lake Academy High School, serving grades 9–12 in Herriman, Utah. The school enrolls 403 students and has a student–teacher ratio of 18.8 to 1, so families will not have other local high schools in this data set for direct comparison.
The school’s strongest results are related to completing high school. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 92.9%, above Utah’s 89.8% average, while its dropout rate was 7.1%, below the state’s 8.5%. However, attendance is a significant concern: 30.4% of students were chronically absent, compared with 23.8% statewide. This combination suggests that the school does a relatively good job helping enrolled students graduate, but many students miss enough school to create an academic risk. Families may want to ask about attendance supports, credit recovery, and programs that help students stay engaged.
Academic test results are the school’s main weakness. In 2025–2026, proficiency was below Utah averages in every reported subject and grade. Grade 10 mathematics was lowest at 9.8%, while science showed the largest gaps from the state, with 18.6% proficient in grade 9 and 13.0% in grade 10. Mathematics improved from the prior year in both grades, especially grade 9, which rose 8.6 percentage points, but English Language Arts declined in both grades. The school ranked near the bottom of the reported statewide group, although its percentile improved from 3rd to 5th in the latest year. Parents should weigh the strong graduation and lower dropout rates against the need for substantial academic improvement, particularly in science, mathematics, and attendance.
