Summary:
ZIP code 84315 has two elementary schools serving kindergarten through sixth grade: Freedom School and Hooper School, both part of the Weber District. The area offers two schools with notably different academic profiles. Hooper enrolls 516 students, while Freedom enrolls 784, and both report the same student-teacher ratio of 20.6.
Hooper School is the clear academic standout. It ranks in the 58th statewide percentile with three stars, compared with the 23rd percentile and one star for Freedom School. Hooper’s average proficiency is 45.8% in English Language Arts, 51.0% in mathematics, and 60.9% in science; each result is higher than Freedom School’s averages of 29.5%, 33.5%, and 41.1%. Hooper leads in nearly every grade and subject, with especially strong sixth-grade results: 52.9% in ELA, 63.7% in mathematics, and 74.2% in science. Its chronic absenteeism rate is also slightly lower, at 21.6% versus 22.9% at Freedom.
Freedom School has some areas of strength, particularly fifth-grade mathematics, where 47.1% of students were proficient—slightly above both Hooper and the state result. However, its overall results are below Weber District and state averages in all three subjects. Parents comparing the schools should pay particular attention to Freedom’s low ELA results and sixth-grade mathematics, while recognizing that its student population has a higher free/reduced-price lunch participation rate. Hooper remains the stronger choice based on current achievement, though its statewide ranking has declined from earlier years and is worth monitoring.
