Original Research by School Decision on Fremont School
Fremont School serves students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in Sunset, a small, nearly fully developed residential city in northern Davis County. The school is one of three elementary schools in Sunset, which sits adjacent to Hill Air Force Base, the dominant employer shaping the community. The city itself has a limited commercial strip along Main Street and a built environment of mid-century subdivisions, with very little open land remaining for new housing. Home values in the area are modest relative to the state median, and the local housing market is stable but not rapidly appreciating.
Enrollment at Fremont is moderate for an elementary school serving this grade band. The student body is diverse: slightly more than half of students are White, about a third are Hispanic, and smaller shares are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Black, or multiracial. Nearly half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a substantial share of families with lower household incomes. Data on the share of students with disabilities or English language learner status was not provided, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those supports.
Academically, state assessment results from the RISE tests show a mixed picture. In English language arts, roughly two out of five students scored at proficient or above levels. In science, the rate is similar. In mathematics, the proficiency rate is lower, at about one-quarter of students. When compared against district-level averages across Davis County, Fremont’s overall proficiency index falls below the midpoint of the county’s fourteen districts. This places the school in a lower tier of academic performance relative to its neighbors, though it is worth noting that the comparison is at the district level rather than against other individual schools. A family considering Fremont may want to explore what instructional supports, interventions, or enrichment programs are in place, particularly in math, as the data suggest that subject is a relative weak point.
Because Fremont serves only through sixth grade, there is no graduation rate to report, and the school does not offer advanced course sequences such as AP or dual enrollment that are typical of high schools. The school has not been designated as a charter or magnet, and its Title I status was not provided. No information about disciplinary rates, chronic absenteeism, or course access was available, so those dimensions of the school environment remain unclear from this data alone.
The wider Davis District, which operates Fremont, has made recent changes that affect families. A new comprehensive high school opened in Farmington in 2022, reshaping feeder patterns and boundaries for students in the northern part of the district, though the immediate impact on Fremont School families would depend on their specific address and future junior high and high school assignments. The district also expanded optional full-day kindergarten in 2023-24 following a statewide legislative change, an option available to Fremont’s kindergarten families.
Sunset itself is a compact, quiet community with limited commercial amenities, a strong connection to Hill Air Force Base, and a residential feel. The city’s population has remained relatively stable and is projected to hold steady or decline slightly, with little room for new development. Families who value a small neighborhood school within a tightly knit, older suburb near a major military employer may find Fremont a natural fit. Those who place a priority on above-average state test scores relative to the county may want to compare with other elementary options in Davis District.
