Summary

Freedom Elementary School is a grades 3–6 school in West Chester, OH, serving 682 students as part of the Lakota Local district. That district is one of Ohio's stronger ones, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating. Freedom Elementary School's own results have been solid but are trending below earlier peaks: it ranked in the 68th percentile in 2025–2026 and 67th in 2024–2025, down from the 79th–81st percentile range reached in 2016–2017 and 2020–2021. It remains above the state median, but it is now a 3-star school rather than the 4-star school it was for most of the past decade.

Among the five same-grade Lakota elementaries, Freedom sits in the middle-to-lower tier. Its average proficiency across nine state-tested subjects in 2025–2026 is about 71.8% — above the state (62.1%) but below the district (77.5%) and behind VanGorden Elementary School (82.2%), Endeavor Elementary School (79.1%), Woodland Elementary School (77.3%), and Union Elementary School (74.3%), with only Adena Elementary School (70.6%) lower. Freedom beats the state in all nine reported subjects but trails the district in seven. Fifth grade is the clearest weak spot: Freedom is the lowest among same-grade peers in 5th-grade science, math, and English language arts, and 5th-grade science dropped from 80.2% to 66.9%. Third grade is a bright spot — Freedom's 3rd graders exceed district and state averages in both math and ELA and rank near the top of the local peer group.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism is 9.4% in 2025–2026, well below the district's 15.5% and far better than the 20.6% recorded in 2021–2022. The student-teacher ratio improved to 23.9 in 2024–2025 from 27.4, now in line with nearby schools. Free/reduced lunch has risen from 29.1% in 2022–2023 to 39.88% in 2024–2025. The most important equity concern is subgroup performance: students with disabilities ranked at the 37th percentile in 2025–2026 (2 stars), and low-income students have slipped to the 48th percentile (2 stars). Improving results for those groups would likely have the largest effect on the school's overall numbers.
