Summary

Renaissance Academy is a public charter school located in Lehi, Utah, serving grades KG-9 with a total enrollment of 788 students. This alternative school within the Renaissance Academy district has seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate over the past few years.

One of Renaissance Academy's key strengths is its consistently strong academic performance. The school outperforms the state average in proficiency rates across various RISE assessments in mathematics, science, and English language arts. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 71.6%, compared to the state's 49.6%. Additionally, Renaissance Academy has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.91% to 12.31% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average and some of the nearby schools like Horizon School and Dan W. Peterson. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated, ranging from 16.7 to 34.8, generally lower than the nearby schools, which have ratios between 11.1 and 26.7.

While Renaissance Academy's test scores and resource allocation are notable strengths, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is an area that could use improvement, as it is generally higher than the nearby schools. When compared to other schools in the area, such as Lincoln Academy and Ascent Academies of Utah Lehi, Renaissance Academy stands out as a high-performing institution, particularly in terms of academic achievement. However, the competitive educational landscape in the Lehi area suggests that parents have several quality options to consider for their children's education.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Wednesday, October 23, 2013

I would not recommend this school to ANYONE. They cannot keep a principal and have been through five of them in six years. They hired a CEO 2 1/2 years ago who knows nothing about education. He has a bachelors degree in business and most teachers are more educated than him. The teachers are great, but there is no leadership at the school. The CEO instills fear in the teaching staff. Just look at the staff attrition rate each year. Their entire third grade staff quit last year, the fourth grade staff is all new in the past two years. They comment on how great the world language program is, yet three teachers and the director all quit over the summer. Since the CEO arrived, they have had a 63% attrition rate. WAKE UP SCHOOL BOARD. If you would spend your time fixing what is broken, rather than beefing up your rating on Greatschools.org(as demonstrated by the woman with five kids, two who graduated and the youngest taking Arabic-yes, she is the board president) things would be much better. The staff are hurting, they need leadership and a qualified principal who can relate to kids and build relationships with staff. Just google them for all of the negative politics. Stay away!!
