Summary

Freedom Elementary School is a small public elementary school located in Freedom, New Hampshire, serving 48 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Freedom School District, which is ranked 145 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom Elementary School stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.0 to 9.6 over the past three years, significantly lower than the nearby schools. The school's test scores have shown some fluctuations, with relatively high proficiency rates in mathematics (67%) and reading (61%) in 2021-2022, outperforming the state averages. However, more recent projections for 2024-2025 indicate a decline, with 50% proficiency in mathematics and 40% in reading, compared to the state averages of 42% and 55%, respectively. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 25% in 2022-2023 to 41.67% in 2023-2024, higher than the state average.

The school's performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger ranking and star rating, has been quite volatile over the years, ranking as high as 16th out of 241 New Hampshire elementary schools in 2012-2013 with a 5-star rating, but declining to a 1-star rating and a ranking of 196th out of 224 schools in 2024-2025. When compared to the nearby schools, Paul Elementary School, Tuftonboro Central School, and Robert Frost Charter School (E), Freedom Elementary School stands out for its small size and higher free and reduced lunch rate, which may be contributing factors to its fluctuating performance.

NECAP test results very inconsistent. Poor teacher attitudes towards children and administration. Even though class size is very small outcomes are mostly poor. Very strained school atmosphere/mood within the school building. Close Quote
