Summary

Freeport Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Freeport, Florida, part of the Walton School District, which is ranked 8th out of 67 districts in the state. With 1,161 students, Freeport Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 555 and 1167 out of around 2,200-2,300 Florida elementary schools over the past decade.

One key area of concern for Freeport Elementary is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.3% to 31.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding Walton district schools. While the school's test scores are generally above the state average, they lag behind the other Walton district schools, especially in recent years. For example, in 2024-2025 projected scores, Freeport lags the Walton district average by 1-5 percentage points in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, Freeport Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.17% to 55.64% over the past few years, higher than the surrounding Walton district schools.

While the school's per-student spending has increased from $9,127 in 2021-2022 to $12,480 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, it is still lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, targeted interventions for economically disadvantaged students, and strategic resource allocation could be key to improving Freeport Elementary's performance and outcomes for its students.
