Summary:
The city of Freeland, Michigan is home to a high-performing school district, with three schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district includes Freeland Middle SchoolHigh School, a combined middle and high school that consistently ranks in the top 25% of Michigan high schools, as well as two elementary schools, Freeland Elementary School and Freeland Learning Center.
Freeland Middle SchoolHigh School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 7th-grade students scoring significantly above the state average in both English Language Arts and Math. The school also boasts a relatively low dropout rate of 7.6%. Freeland Elementary School is another high-performing institution, ranking in the top 10% of Michigan elementary schools and with over 70% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts.
While the Freeland Community School District as a whole appears to be a high-quality system, there are some areas of concern, such as the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools. Additionally, the district may want to investigate the dip in proficiency rates from the elementary to the middle/high school levels, particularly in math, to ensure a smooth academic transition for students.
