Summary

Freeport Elementary School in Freeport, FL, is a large K-4 school serving 1,120 students within the highly-rated Walton County School District, and it has become a standout for its impressive academic turnaround and efficient use of resources.

Freeport Elementary has shown remarkable growth, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2019 to a solid 4-star rating for three consecutive years. Its 4th-grade math performance is a clear strength, with 82% of students proficient in 2025-2026—well above the state average and even exceeding the district average. This is a notable achievement compared to nearby schools like Maude Saunders Elementary School and West Defuniak Elementary School, which perform below the district average in this subject. Despite being the largest elementary school in the area, Freeport maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1, which is better than that of high-performing schools like James E. Plew Elementary School in the neighboring Okaloosa district. Additionally, the school achieves these strong results with the lowest per-student spending among its Walton County peers, at $13,180 per student.

One interesting finding is that Freeport serves a diverse, middle-income community, with 52.5% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. This places it between higher-poverty schools like Maude Saunders (82.67%) and more affluent coastal schools like Van R. Butler Elementary School (27.68%). While the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.2%, its continued academic growth suggests effective interventions for students who attend regularly. For parents, Freeport Elementary offers a compelling story of improvement and efficiency, though it still has room to grow to match the top-tier performance of schools like Bluewater Elementary School in Okaloosa County.
