Summary

Freeman Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 415 students in the Woodland Joint Unified school district, located in a community with significant economic need where about 88% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school is currently struggling, with its statewide ranking in the lower 25th percentile and student proficiency in English and math well below state averages. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with over 31% of students missing significant school time, a rate much higher than the district and state and a key factor often linked to lower academic performance. The school's results have declined after a recent high point in the 2022-2023 school year, and there are notable performance gaps for students in special education and English language learner programs, as well as large differences in test scores between grade levels.

Comparisons with nearby schools highlight these challenges. While Freeman receives more funding per student ($12,395) than schools like Spring Lake Elementary ($7,462) and Plainfield Elementary ($9,745), its academic results are significantly lower. For instance, Spring Lake has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 3.6% and proficiency rates more than double Freeman's. This shows that some schools within the same district facing similar economic challenges, like Zamora Elementary, are able to achieve stronger academic outcomes.
