Original Research by School Decision on St. George Academy
St. George Academy is a small Utah school district that operates a single school serving students from early high school through graduation. The district currently reports an enrollment of just over 200 students across grades 8 through 12, and it recently expanded to include 7th grade, a change publicly reported for the 2025-2026 school year. That growth means families with middle-school-age children now have this option alongside the existing high school program. The district also introduced an online learning option alongside its on-campus curriculum for the same school year, giving families a choice between in-person and remote college-preparatory instruction.
The student body is majority White, with a substantial Hispanic presence and small shares of Asian, Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. Data on economic disadvantage, special education, and English learner status were not available, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those supports. The district sits within Washington County, and a comparison of six county districts places St. George Academy’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades in the bottom quartile. That is a soft spot worth investigating further with the school. In math, proficiency was notably lower than peers, while English language arts results fell in a middling range and science proficiency came in around the midpoint of the county. The state testing data that produced these figures comes from Utah’s RISE assessment, which covers the earlier grade band; for a district serving mostly high school grades, these results reflect only a portion of the student population, and high school measures such as ACT performance or graduation rates are not available here.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern. The district’s rate sits above the midpoint among Washington County’s districts, meaning a notable share of students are missing enough school to affect learning. Per-pupil spending lands in the middle range, on the lower half of the county, which may influence program breadth. No information was provided about course access, staffing ratios, discipline, or Title I status, so a family looking for details on electives, advanced coursework, or student support structures would need to follow up with the school directly.
St. George Academy is a small, single-campus district that has recently added both a younger grade and a remote learning path, reflecting an effort to expand its reach. The academic results are mixed, with math proficiency below county peers and chronic absenteeism elevated, while English and science performance are more typical of the area. For a family considering this district, the missing graduation rate and limited program data mean a conversation with the school about student outcomes and available offerings is essential. The lack of a locale brief means we cannot describe the surrounding community or housing market, so a parent or resident would need to research that context separately.
