Freedom High

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Freedom High is a small public high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 111. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico high schools, with its highest ranking being 84 out of 158 schools in the 2016-2017 school year. In the most recent 2023-2024 school year, it ranked 149 out of 190 high schools, indicating it is one of the lower-performing high schools in the state. The school has had low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 13% to 76.7% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the state and Albuquerque district averages of around 76.7%. Freedom High students also consistently score below the state and district averages on standardized tests, such as the NM-ASR/Science, SAT School Day/English Language Arts, and NM Combined/Science assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17% of 11th-grade students at Freedom High were proficient or better in SAT School Day/English Language Arts, compared to 36% in the Albuquerque district and 34% statewide.

When comparing Freedom High to nearby schools, such as Sandia High and Nex Gen Academy, it is clear that Freedom High is underperforming. These nearby schools have significantly higher statewide rankings, graduation rates, and test scores. The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (100%) and the school's low statewide ranking suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the academic performance of Freedom High students. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.2 to 12.3 over the past few years, could be an asset, as it may allow for more personalized attention and support for students.
