SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 620 Illinois High Schools

Better than 18% of Illinois high schools

Summary

Freeport High School serves grades 9–12 in Freeport, Illinois, and enrolls 1,165 students—far more than the nearby high schools, which have 111 to 406 students. Its most important challenge is that 2025–26 test results were below state results in every reported subject and grade, with mathematics the weakest area overall.

On the 11th-grade ACT, about 30% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 17% in mathematics and 29% in science, compared with state rates of 50%, 40% and 48%. Nearby schools were also generally ahead: all six with reportable science results exceeded Freeport, averaging 51%, and all six with reportable ELA results exceeded it, averaging 55%; all four nearby schools with reportable ACT math results were higher. The school’s reported ACT rates match those of Freeport School District 145. Attendance and completion are additional concerns: chronic absenteeism was 38%, versus 24% statewide and 29% districtwide, while graduation was 84%, below the state’s 90%.

Results over time are mixed: ninth-grade ELA PreACT proficiency rose from 40% to 46% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, while 11th-grade ACT ELA fell from 32% to 30% and ACT math from 19% to 17%. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 18th percentile statewide with 1 star in 2025–26, down 14 percentile points from 2020–21. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 13.3 in 2024–25, close to the nearby-school average of 13.2, and 56% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 32%. SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 ranking for English Language Learner students was at the 21st percentile, down from the 85th percentile in 2022–23, while the overall ranking was at the 25th percentile in 2024–25.
