Under the new leadership of Doug Fulton,Freedom is a great school. The kids love him and the atmosphere inside the school. Mr. Fulton is always visible in the halls talking to students and attending nightly functions. He spends time each and every day in the cafeteria eating lunch and conversing with kids. He is willing to hear concerns and does a great job making the right choices for the betterment of the school. He has put in countless hours landscaping the front of the school himself. He has made the inside of the building a more pleasant to be. The front office looks amazing and the office staff makes you fell welcome. Kids are always talking about how easy Mr Fulton is to talk to and they feel he really cares about them. He spends countless hours at the school and it has made a positive impact. Love his hands on approach! Close Quote

My children have had positive experiences overall. The new administration is very approachable and I love the weekly phone communication. Our main exception is the math department, which is very inconsistent in its quality of instruction. Close Quote
