The top reported proficiency rate is 44% in Science. The lowest is 35% in Math.
Original Research by School Decision on Freedom School
Freedom School serves kindergarten through sixth grade in Hooper, a community that has grown rapidly while keeping its agricultural, small-town character. The school is part of Weber District, and its enrollment is large for an elementary building. Most students are white, and around one in five identify as Hispanic. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, giving the school a moderate level of economic diversity.
The state assessment picture is mixed. In math and English language arts, the share of students scoring proficient falls below what many families would hope to see, running just above a third of students. Science results are stronger, with a higher share reaching proficiency. When placed against all tested elementary and middle schools across Weber County’s dozen districts, the school sits above the midpoint for overall proficiency across subjects. That countywide context matters: Freedom School is not among the highest-performing schools in the area, but it lands in the stronger half of a competitive field.
The school has no state testing results for high school subjects because it serves only elementary grades, and no graduation rate data for the same reason. Data on special education identification, English learner status, chronic absenteeism, and discipline were not available. A parent interested in how the school supports students with disabilities or language needs would want to ask the school directly about those programs.
Hooper itself is a dispersed, low-density place that has attracted many new residents. The population grew substantially over recent decades, and housing values have risen in line with that demand. The typical home in the school’s ZIP code is priced noticeably higher than the state median, which reflects the area’s desirability and the pressure of growth. There is no traditional downtown or concentrated commercial core; most residents commute by car to jobs in the Ogden–Clearfield metropolitan area. Community life revolves around city-organized events and the school itself.
For a family considering this school, the key context is that Hooper is a growing, car-dependent suburb where housing is expensive relative to the broader state market. The school’s student body is predominantly white with a sizable Hispanic minority, and it serves a community where many parents likely commute some distance for work. The academic data suggests room for improvement in math and reading, while science is a relative strength. Families who place a high priority on strong test scores would want to investigate how the school addresses literacy and math instruction, as well as what academic interventions or enrichment the school offers. Those who value a stable, community-oriented elementary school in a fast-growing area may find that Freedom School fits their needs, particularly if they are comfortable engaging with the school on academic progress.
