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 408 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 77.45% White, 15.93% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups.
Despite its diverse student body, American Academy of Innovation consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 7th grade proficiency rates were 26% in ELA, 12.3% in Math, and 22.7% in Science, compared to the state averages of 41.4%, 44.9%, and 45.5%, respectively. The school's 10th grade proficiency rates in 2022-2023 were also lower than the state averages, with 40.5% in ELA, 15.5% in Math, and 26.7% in Science, compared to 45.3%, 27.7%, and 32.2% for the state. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Jordan District high schools, with a ranking of 112 out of 139 schools in 2022-2023, and a rating of only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Compared to the nearby public high schools, such as Bingham High and Itineris Early College High, which consistently outperform the state averages and rank among the top high schools in Utah, American Academy of Innovation's academic performance lags significantly. The nearby public high schools, despite serving larger and more diverse student populations, generally have higher proficiency rates, lower student-teacher ratios, and higher spending per student compared to American Academy of Innovation. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.3 and low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 17.16% may suggest that the school's population is not representative of the broader community, which could impact its academic performance.
