Freedom School

Q: Is Freedom School a good school?

Freedom School ranks 405 th of 561 Utah elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Freedom School is an elementary school located in Hooper, UT, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 819 students. The school is part of the Weber District, which is ranked 60 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Freedom School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, typically in the 300s to 400s range out of around 550-560 schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Freedom School's test scores on the RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Weber District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. The school struggles to keep up with its peers, with proficiency rates often 10-15 percentage points below the district and state. Additionally, Freedom School has a relatively high percentage of students (around 25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is a proxy for socioeconomic status, and a higher student-teacher ratio (around 22-23) compared to the nearby schools.

When comparing Freedom School to other elementary schools in the area, such as Lakeside School and Hooper School, it is clear that Freedom School is underperforming. These nearby schools consistently outperform Freedom School on standardized tests and have higher overall rankings from SchoolDigger. Despite these challenges, Freedom School's ranking and performance have remained relatively stagnant over the past several years, suggesting that the school may be struggling to implement effective strategies to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
