John C. Fremont School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

John C. Fremont School is an elementary school located in Taylorsville, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 379. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 72 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (36.68%) and Pacific Islander (7.12%) students compared to nearby schools, John C. Fremont School consistently underperforms academically. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were significantly lower than the Granite District and state averages across all grade levels. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 421 and 539 out of 551-572 schools over the past several years, and has received a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the higher percentage of low-income students at John C. Fremont School, with 58.49% to 66.23% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, does not fully explain the school's academic struggles. Some nearby schools, such as Pioneer School and Granger School, have similar or even higher percentages of low-income students but perform better academically. Additionally, John C. Fremont School's higher spending per student ($9,546 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.
