Summary

American Academy of Innovation is a public charter high school located in South Jordan, Utah, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 365 students. The school is part of the American Academy of Innovation District, which is ranked 80 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

American Academy of Innovation has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby public schools, such as Bingham High and Riverton High, on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 82 out of 138 high schools in 2023-2024 to 112 out of 138 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 66.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the nearby public high schools.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has had relatively high graduation rates, with a 4-year graduation rate of 88.8% in 2023-2024, which is on par with the nearby public high schools. However, the school also has a high dropout rate, ranging from 9.4% to 12.8% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby public high schools. The school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 9.41% to 19.18% in recent years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance, and other factors, such as the school's educational approach or leadership, may be contributing to the observed challenges.
