Summary

Athlos Academy of Utah is a public charter school located in Herriman, Utah, serving 494 students in grades K-9. While the school offers a unique educational approach focused on academics, athletics, and character development, it faces several notable challenges compared to nearby charter schools.

One significant concern is Athlos Academy's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 35.2% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby charter schools like Navigator Pointe Academy (23.8%), Hawthorn Academy West Jordan (23.8%), and Ascent Academies of Utah West Jordan (23.8%). Additionally, Athlos Academy's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, suggesting the school may need to re-evaluate its educational approach.

Athlos Academy of Utah also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.74% to 33.12% over the past few years. This is higher than some nearby charter schools, such as Navigator Pointe Academy (7.88%) and North Star Academy (8.46%), but lower than others like Ascent Academies of Utah West Jordan (37.02%) and Career Academy of Utah (39.2%). Additionally, Athlos Academy has experienced significant fluctuations in its student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Athlos Academy in Herriman is a great Elementary School. My children have gone there for 4 years and they love it. They are challenged and expected to perform their best. The students have the chance to earn above grade level scores on their report cards and it is a huge motivation for my kids. They love proving that they can reach above the expectations. They are learning a lot. My oldest just went to our neighborhood middle school this year and is ahead of most of her peers. Close Quote
