Summary

Freedom Preparatory Academy is a public charter school in Provo, Utah that serves 1,319 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school is part of the Freedom Preparatory Academy District, which is ranked 62 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Freedom Preparatory Academy's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.2% to 91.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school has also seen a steady decline in dropout rates, from 10.0% in 2019-2020 to 9.4% in 2023-2024, lower than the state average. However, the school faces challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 31.1%, higher than the state average. While the school's test scores are mixed compared to state averages, with better performance in some areas and lagging behind in others, particularly in mathematics and science, it generally outperforms nearby charter schools like Athenian eAcademy and Spectrum Academy - Pleasant Grove.

An interesting finding is that Freedom Preparatory Academy serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.98% to 45.56% over the past few years, suggesting a population with lower socioeconomic status compared to the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio has been relatively stable, ranging from 17.0 to 17.9, slightly higher than the state average. While Freedom Preparatory Academy performs better than some nearby charter schools, it lags behind the performance of more traditional public schools in the area, such as Oak Canyon Junior High, which is part of the higher-performing Alpine School District.
