Freedom Elementary

Freedom Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 434 students in the Lemoore Union Elementary district, and it stands out as a school on a strong upward trajectory, significantly improving its statewide ranking over the past three years.

The school is particularly effective in teaching English and Math, with its students scoring well above both district and state averages, which is impressive given that a high percentage of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This success is even more pronounced for certain student groups, where the school earns 4-star ratings. Compared to other schools in its own district with similar student populations, like Lemoore Elementary, Cinnamon Elementary, and Meadow Lane Elementary, Freedom achieves stronger academic results while spending less per student. It also manages student attendance better than the state average and most of these district peers.

There are areas for growth, as the school's performance in Science is notably low, and student scores dip in 4th grade before recovering. When looking at schools in neighboring districts, such as the higher-spending Central Union Elementary district which includes R. J. Neutra and Akers Elementary, it's clear that resources and community demographics vary widely, making direct comparisons difficult. Overall, Freedom Elementary demonstrates a clear pattern of improvement and effective instruction within its community context.
