Advantage Arts Academy

The Advantage Arts Academy area has one listed school: Advantage Arts Academy, a K–6 elementary school in Herriman, Utah, serving about 354 students. The school is part of the Advantage Arts Academy district. It has a 19:1 student–teacher ratio, a one-star rating, and a 2025–26 ranking in the 25th percentile of Utah schools. Since there is only one school in the list, there are no nearby schools in this dataset to compare directly.

The school’s strongest academic area is English Language Arts. In 2025–26, proficiency was 42.2% in third grade, 39.1% in fourth grade, and 45.3% in fifth grade, compared with 46.6%, 46.1%, and 45.9% statewide. Fifth-grade ELA was especially close to the Utah average. Science performance was more mixed: fourth grade was 31.1% compared with 52.6% statewide, while fifth grade was 45.5% compared with 52.2%. Sixth-grade ELA and science results were reported as ranges, so exact comparisons are not available.

Mathematics is the clearest challenge for the school. Proficiency was 31.9% in third grade, 28.9% in fourth grade, 20.9% in fifth grade, and below 20% in sixth grade, substantially below Utah results in every tested grade. Parents should also note the high chronic absenteeism rate: 39.8% of students in 2024–25, compared with 23.8% statewide. Frequent absences can make it harder for children to keep up, especially in mathematics, where skills build from one grade to the next. The school’s ranking improved from the 20th to the 25th percentile between 2024–25 and 2025–26, but its overall results remain below typical Utah performance. Attendance support and strong math instruction appear to be the most important areas to investigate.
