Summary

Ascent Academies of Utah Farmington is an alternative public school in Farmington serving 385 students in grades K–9, with a 15:1 student-teacher ratio and a location convenient to families in the surrounding Davis County area. The school’s profile is mixed: elementary academic results are often strong, while attendance and some middle-school subjects need attention. Ascent Academies of Utah ranks 59th of 92 Utah districts, at the 36th percentile, and has a 2-star SchoolDigger rating.

The clearest strength is performance in grades 3–5. In 2025–26, Ascent exceeded Utah averages in every reported elementary ELA and mathematics result, including 5th-grade ELA at 65.1% proficient and 4th-grade math at 61.4%. Its 5th-grade science result was also strong at 65.1%, while 6th-grade science was reported at 60–78%, already above the state result at its lower bound. These elementary results often compare favorably with nearby Highmark Charter School, Legacy Preparatory Academy, and North Davis Preparatory Academy. Results become less consistent in grades 7–8: 8th-grade math was reported at 20–39%, and 7th- and 8th-grade science at 30–48%, compared with higher state results in several cases. Ninth-grade math and science were competitive with statewide performance, although those results were also reported as ranges.

Attendance is an important consideration. Chronic absenteeism improved from 40.1% in 2021–22 to 26.5% in 2024–25, but remains above Utah’s 23.8% rate and higher than North Davis Preparatory Academy (11.2%), Syracuse Arts Academy - Antelope (16.0%), and Legacy Preparatory Academy (22.7%). Ascent’s 15:1 ratio is more favorable than those larger competitors, though much higher than the ratios at City Academy and Renaissance Academy. Overall, the school appears strongest for elementary academics, with middle-school math and science and continued attendance improvement as key priorities.
