Summary

Hawthorn Academy South Jordan is a K–6 school in the South Jordan area serving 621 students as part of the Hawthorn Academy district. The school is close to several elementary schools, including South Jordan School, just 0.29 miles away. Hawthorn ranks 350th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 38th percentile and earning two stars. This is a decline from the 50th percentile in 2024–25 and indicates that the school currently performs below the statewide midpoint.

Attendance is one of Hawthorn’s most significant challenges. In 2024–25, 37.1% of students were chronically absent, compared with 23.8% statewide and 35.0% across the Hawthorn Academy district. Hawthorn’s rate was also higher than nearby schools such as South Jordan School at 23.9%, Rosamond School at 23.5%, and Jordan Ridge School at 20.6%. The attendance gap may reduce learning time and is an important issue for the school to address. Hawthorn also has a higher free/reduced-price lunch rate than many nearby schools, while its student-teacher ratio of 20.0 is generally comparable or somewhat more favorable.

Academic results are mixed but generally below nearby alternatives. ELA proficiency was especially weak in third grade at 28.8% and fourth grade at 33.7%, while fifth-grade ELA was a relative strength at 49.1%. Mathematics showed a similar split: fifth grade reached 55.3%, but sixth grade was only 31.2%, continuing a concern from 2024–25. Sixth-grade science was comparatively strong at 59.0%, slightly above the state figure. By comparison, South Jordan School ranks at the 69th percentile, and American Preparatory Academy–Draper #2 ranks at the 97th percentile. Key improvement priorities are reducing chronic absenteeism, strengthening early-grade literacy, addressing sixth-grade mathematics, and studying the practices behind Hawthorn’s stronger fifth-grade results.

I registered for my son for kindergarten my son met with his teacher and have his testing done. we bought the uniforms, school supplies, and everything then I got email saying they will not be able to accept my son just 2 weeks before school starts. I emailed the superintendent and principal about the issue and they didn' even return to my email. school staff had an irresponsible behavior and the admin team didn't even say sorry about it. Such a disappointment. Close Quote
