Freedom Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Freedom Preparatory Academy is a public charter school in Provo, Utah that serves over 1,200 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with nearly equal percentages of White and Hispanic students, as well as smaller numbers of other racial and ethnic groups. Notably, over 40% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Freedom Preparatory Academy generally performs better than the state average on standardized tests, particularly in 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Mathematics. However, the school struggles in 8th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving instruction and support for students as they progress through the secondary grades.

Compared to nearby schools, Freedom Preparatory Academy stands out for its diversity and higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. While its test scores are generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools, which also serve diverse populations, the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged students and improve performance in the secondary grades.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
