Summary

Freedom Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 548 students in grades K-5 in the West Fargo 6 School District in West Fargo, North Dakota. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state in both math and reading proficiency, with 40% of students proficient or better in math and 35% in reading for the 2024-2025 school year.

However, Freedom Elementary has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6% in 2021-2022 to 20% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the district and state averages. The school's free/reduced lunch rates have fluctuated, ranging from 21.43% in 2021-2022 to 31.12% in 2022-2023, suggesting a relatively diverse student population in terms of socioeconomic status. The school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.4 to 13.6 over the past 3 years, and its spending per student has been in line with the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the West Fargo 6 district, Freedom Elementary School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, with stronger academic outcomes and lower rates of chronic absenteeism. This could be due to factors such as effective teaching practices, strong leadership, or targeted interventions for struggling students. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rates are a concern that should be addressed to ensure continued student success.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only.
