John C. Fremont School

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.

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.
