Summary

Freeland Middle SchoolHigh School in Freeland, MI, is a combined middle and high school serving 897 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Freeland Community School District, a rural/suburban district rated 5 stars and ranked 53rd out of 625 districts statewide.

Academically, Freeland is a standout performer. Its proficiency rates on state assessments (M-Step, PSAT, SAT) are consistently well above state averages across all subjects and grade levels—for example, 9th-grade ELA proficiency hits 81.3%, and 8th-grade math reaches 49.4%. The school’s graduation rate is exceptional at 97.7% (2024-2025), with a dropout rate of just 1.5%, both far better than state averages and higher than nearby traditional high schools like Midland High School (92.3% graduation) and Swan Valley High School (95.7%). Perhaps most impressive is the dramatic improvement for students from low socio-economic backgrounds: their statewide ranking jumped from the 25th percentile (1 star) in 2023-2024 to the 93rd percentile (5 stars) in 2025-2026, signaling targeted, effective support. Freeland achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,767) than peers like Midland High ($14,441) or Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy ($28,228), indicating strong operational efficiency.

However, there are areas to watch. Chronic absenteeism at Freeland is 21.3% (2024-2025), notably higher than its district average of 13.9% and Swan Valley’s 11.7%, suggesting that while attending students thrive, a significant portion miss substantial school time. Performance between male and female students has also fluctuated year-to-year, with females (86th percentile) outpacing males (80th percentile) in the most recent data, a reversal from the prior year. Compared to Heritage High School, which serves a larger, less affluent population and graduates 90.9% of students, Freeland’s smaller, more economically advantaged student body achieves superior outcomes. For parents, Freeland offers a rigorous, efficient academic environment with strong graduation rates, though attendance and subgroup consistency are worth monitoring.
