Summary

American Academy of Innovation is a small public school serving grades 6–12 in South Jordan, Utah, with 373 students. Its enrollment is far smaller than nearby traditional high schools, such as Copper Hills High and Herriman High, and its student-teacher ratio was 18.2 in 2024–2025. The school’s latest statewide ranking was 89th out of 139 schools, around the 36th percentile—an improvement from 112th previously, but still below the statewide midpoint.

The school’s graduation rate was 86.5% in 2024–2025, below Utah’s 89.8% and most nearby comparison schools. It was higher than West Jordan High and Paradigm High School, but lower than Bingham High, Mountain Ridge High, Herriman High, and Riverton High. Its dropout rate improved to 9.6%, but chronic absenteeism remains the clearest concern: 56.3% of students were chronically absent, more than twice Utah’s 23.8% rate and higher than every nearby comparison school.

Academically, English is a relative strength while mathematics is a major weakness. In 10th grade, 51.0% met standards in English language arts, slightly above the state’s 48.2%, while 12.8% met standards in mathematics, compared with 29.4% statewide. Math results are also weak in grades 6–8, indicating a schoolwide issue rather than an isolated grade-level problem. Science was near the state average at 38.4%. Compared with similarly sized Itineris Early College High, American Academy of Innovation has weaker math and attendance results. The most important priorities appear to be reducing chronic absenteeism, strengthening math instruction, supporting students during transition years, and turning recent ranking and dropout improvements into sustained progress.
