Summary

John C. Fremont School is a PK–6 elementary school in Taylorsville serving 374 students in the Granite District, in a competitive area where most nearby schools have similar grade levels and student-teacher ratios.

The school’s latest academic results are a serious concern. In 2025–2026, Fremont ranked 553rd out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it at the 2nd percentile, and received a SchoolDigger rating of 0 stars. Proficiency was below both district and state averages in every reported subject and grade. The weakest result was 3rd-grade math, at 9.3%, while the school’s highest reported rate was 25% in 5th-grade science. These results are generally lower than those at nearby Rolling Meadows School, Robert Frost School, Taylorsville School, and Pioneer School. Fremont’s rank has also declined from the 25th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026, suggesting a broader recent deterioration rather than a single weak year.

Attendance is another major issue: 38.3% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, compared with 30.6% in the district and 23.8% statewide. Although this improved from 41.6% the previous year, it remains higher than at most nearby schools. Fremont’s 21.3:1 student-teacher ratio is typical locally, so staffing levels alone do not explain the achievement gap. The nearby Horizon School offers a useful comparison: it has a similar ratio, lower absenteeism at 23.3%, and a much stronger 48th-percentile statewide rank. Key priorities for Fremont appear to be foundational literacy and math, attendance intervention, and studying practices used by stronger nearby schools.
