Best Public Schools in Hooper, UT

Hooper, Utah, has two public elementary schools serving kindergarten through sixth grade: Freedom School and Hooper School. Both are part of Weber District, which ranks 61st out of 92 Utah districts. Together, the schools enroll about 1,300 students, with Freedom serving 784 students and Hooper serving 516. Both report the same student-teacher ratio of 20.6 to 1.

Hooper School is the stronger academic performer. Its 2025–26 proficiency averages were 45.8% in English language arts, 51.0% in mathematics, and 60.9% in science—at or above district and state averages in every subject. Its sixth-grade results were especially strong, including 63.7% proficiency in mathematics and 74.2% in science. The school ranked in the 58th statewide percentile. Freedom School ranked in the 23rd percentile and averaged 29.5% in ELA, 33.5% in mathematics, and 41.1% in science. Its fifth-grade mathematics and science results were encouraging, but fourth grade was a clear area of concern, with proficiency below 30% in all three tested subjects.

For families comparing the schools, the largest difference is the consistency of academic performance: Hooper led Freedom in every reported grade-and-subject comparison, with an overall average advantage of about 18 percentage points. Freedom’s results also declined slightly in mathematics and science compared with the prior year, although some grades improved considerably. Attendance is worth monitoring at both schools, since chronic absenteeism affected approximately one in five students; Hooper’s rate was 21.6% and Freedom’s was 22.9%. Families may want to examine Freedom’s fourth-grade supports and overall ELA instruction, while also noting Hooper’s strong sixth-grade mathematics and science outcomes.
