Summary

Freedom Middle School is a public middle school located in Franklin, Tennessee, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 500 students. The school is part of the Franklin Special School District, which is ranked 9th out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 15% of Tennessee middle schools over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 34th to 69th out of over 500 middle schools. The school's test scores are generally higher than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 44.2% to 67.2% in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 29.6% to 53%. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.2% in 2021-2022 to 20.2% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

When compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Poplar Grove 5-8 and Freedom Intermediate, both in the same district, Freedom Middle School generally performs at a higher level. This may be due to the school's significantly higher per-student spending of $19,816 in 2023-2024, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2. While the school excels for its White and Asian student populations, the performance of its African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students is more average, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes.
