Summary

Ida Freeman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edmond, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school is part of the Edmond School District, which is ranked 63 out of 452 districts in the state and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Ida Freeman Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Edmond and Oklahoma state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of Ida Freeman students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41% in Edmond and 26% statewide. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% to 20.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 75.69% of Ida Freeman students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Ida Freeman Elementary School's academic performance lags significantly behind that of nearby high-performing schools, such as Chisholm Elementary, Cross Timbers Elementary, and Clegern Elementary, which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, from 196 out of 498 Oklahoma elementary schools in the 2015-2016 school year to 455 out of 614 in the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting that its performance has not kept pace with the improvements seen in other schools across the state.

Ida Freeman has been a wonderful school for my kindergarten child. My daughter looks forward to school everyday. Her teacher has great classroom management. The children know what to expect from her. She has high expectations of behavior, and learning achievement from parents and students. The kindergarten teacher involves the parents in the classroom as much as they want to be apart. I would recommend this school. At least for this year, Kindergarten has been a wonderful experience. Close Quote
