Summary

Freedom Preparatory Academy Washington is a K–12 alternative school in Saint George, Utah, serving 412 students in the area. It is part of the Freedom Preparatory Academy district, which ranks 62nd of 92 Utah districts and receives a two-star rating in the supplied data. The school’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 19.8:1, and 23.3% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch—lower than at several nearby schools.

Attendance is the school’s clearest challenge, although it is improving. Chronic absenteeism fell from 45.0% in 2022–23 to 32.5% in 2024–25, but remained above the district rate of 27.6% and Utah’s 23.8%. Academically, results vary considerably by grade and subject. English language arts is generally stronger than math, while fifth-grade math is a particular concern at 34.1%, more than ten points below the state. Fifth-grade science was also below the state. In contrast, sixth grade was an impressive bright spot, with results reported in ranges of 60–78% in ELA, 50–68% in math, and 70–88% in science—above both district and state results.

Compared with nearby Vista School, Freedom Prep generally had lower grades 3–5 results in ELA, math, and science, but substantially stronger sixth-grade results. Its staffing ratio is more favorable than at Snow Canyon Middle and Post High School Self-Cont, though less favorable than the 17:1 ratio at Career Technical High School. Overall, families may see a small-to-midsize school with meaningful attendance progress, strong sixth-grade performance, and a need for continued attention to attendance and elementary mathematics.
