Summary

Freedom Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 591 students. The school is part of the Bullitt County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Bullitt County and Kentucky state averages in various subject areas and grade levels, as measured by the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA). For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, Science, Writing, Social Studies, and Editing and Mechanics were significantly lower than the Bullitt County and state averages. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 118 out of 690 Kentucky elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 530 out of 685 in 2024-2025. Freedom Elementary School has also struggled to support the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, students with low socioeconomic status, and students with disabilities.

The nearby schools within the Bullitt County district, such as Cedar Grove Elementary, Pleasant Grove Elementary, and Roby Elementary, have generally outperformed Freedom Elementary School in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. However, these schools also face challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and a significant percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing the issues at Freedom Elementary School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique needs of the school and its community.
