Summary
Freedom Elementary is a PK-4 school in Keller, TX, serving 639 students within the highly-rated Keller Independent School District (Isd), and it has a history of solid, above-average performance, though recent data shows a slight dip to a 3-star rating. This school sits in the middle of a high-achieving cluster of nearby schools, consistently outperforming the state average but often trailing top-tier neighbors like Willis Lane Elementary (98th percentile) and Keller-Harvel Elementary (90th percentile). Interestingly, Freedom Elementary is remarkably similar to its neighbor Eagle Ridge Elementary in overall rank (68th vs. 69th percentile) and free/reduced lunch percentage (40.69% vs. 30.66%), but Freedom is stronger with Hispanic students and Special Education students, while Eagle Ridge is stronger with White students.
A standout and puzzling data point is that Freedom Elementary has achieved a perfect 100% proficiency in 5th Grade Mathematics for four consecutive years, which is an extraordinary outlier compared to any nearby school. However, the school has experienced a sharp decline in performance with its Gifted and Talented students, dropping from the top 8% of the state in 2024-2025 to the bottom 23% in 2025-2026. Additionally, performance with English Language Learners has been inconsistent, fluctuating from the 70th percentile to the 54th percentile in recent years. The school also shows a slight downward trend over the past 8-9 years, with its overall rank falling from a high of 83rd percentile to 68th percentile, and the decline is most pronounced among White students and Gifted and Talented students.
For parents, it is important to note that Freedom Elementary serves a moderately diverse student body, with about 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school's performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds is a clear area of concern, ranking in the bottom 39% of the state in 2025-2026. On a positive note, the school has shown a "tale of two genders" trend, where its effectiveness with male and female students has flipped over time, suggesting that instructional strategies may be impacting the two groups differently. Overall, Freedom Elementary offers a solid educational foundation but has some areas of inconsistency that parents may want to explore further, especially regarding support for Gifted and Talented students and students from low-income backgrounds.
