Summary:
The city of Freedom, Oklahoma is home to two small public schools - Freedom Elementary School and Freedom High School. Both schools face significant challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings, below-average test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Freedom Elementary School has an enrollment of just 20 students and ranks in the bottom third of Oklahoma elementary schools. Its test scores lag behind the state averages, with only 38% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 14% in Math, and 42% in Science. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% and spends over $27,500 per student. Similarly, Freedom High School has an extremely small enrollment of 11 students and ranks in the bottom third of Oklahoma high schools. Its test scores are significantly below the state averages, with only 10% of students proficient or better in ELA, Math, and Science, though the school does excel in U.S. History with 60% proficiency.
Both schools face challenges related to their small size and high rates of students from low-income families. The high spending per student suggests the need for more targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes and attendance. While the data paints a concerning picture, the standout performance in U.S. History at Freedom High School indicates there may be areas of strength that could be built upon. Overall, the Freedom school district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
