Freeman High School - 01 up 90 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Freeman has one listed high school, Freeman High School - 01, serving grades 9–12, so it is the city’s only high-school option in this data. In the latest reported 11th-grade results, the school was above the state in ELA, science, and math: 70% versus 48% in ELA (22 points higher), 55% versus 45% in science (10 points higher), and 40% versus 34% in math (6 points higher). The most important finding is that the school exceeded state results in all three subjects.

There is no meaningful top-versus-bottom school comparison because Freeman is the only school listed. Its strongest latest subject result was ELA, while math showed the smallest advantage over the state; across the three subjects, its average was 55%, compared with 42% statewide, a 13-point lead. Completion measures are also favorable relative to the state: the 2025–2026 graduation rate was 100% versus 88% statewide, a 12-point advantage, and the dropout rate was 1% versus 2%, about 2 points lower. The dropout rate was 0.9% at Freeman and 0.6% in the Freeman School District 33-1.

The earlier test results were weaker relative to the state, but the change does not establish a year-to-year achievement trend: in 2024–2025, Freeman was 2 points below the state in ELA, 12 points below in math, and 16 points below in science. SchoolDigger ranked Freeman 45th of 141 in 2023–2024, 111th of 166 in 2024–2025, and 21st of 130 in 2025–2026; it gives the district four stars and ranks it 39th of 126. The school’s context includes 110 students, a 9.3 student-teacher ratio, and 31% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. With no other listed school, these figures describe Freeman but cannot show how it compares with similar local schools.
