The school is part of the Freeburg CCSD 70 district, which is ranked 130 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freeburg Primary Center has maintained a strong performance over time, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a high statewide ranking in the 2002-2003 school year. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is relatively high compared to the state average, which could be an area of concern. Approximately 30.57% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic need among the student population. Despite this, Freeburg Primary Center spends $12,468 per student and has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1, suggesting that the school has access to adequate resources to support its educational programs and student needs.

Overall, Freeburg Primary Center appears to be a well-performing elementary school that serves the 62243 zip code area. While the chronic absenteeism rate is a potential area of concern, the school's strong academic performance, resource allocation, and smaller class sizes suggest that it is providing a quality education to its students.
