Summary:
Freeman School District 33-1 has five schools serving 435 students from prekindergarten through grade 12: three elementary schools, a junior high and a high school. The colony schools serve kindergarten through grade 8, while the other schools cover PK–6, grades 7–8 and grades 9–12. Across the four schools with 2025–26 all-grades results, the equal-school average was 55% in ELA and 47% in math, compared with state results of 49% and 44%. The clearest takeaway is that performance differs substantially by school and subject, rather than being uniform across the district.
Wolf Creek Colony Elementary led in ELA at 64%, 15 percentage points above the state and 9 above the four-school average. Freeman Junior High led in math at 58%, 14 points above the state and 11 above the average. At the other end, Freeman Elementary posted 48% in ELA and 41% in math, respectively 1 and 3 points below state results; Wolf Creek’s math result was also about 41%. Tschetter Colony Elementary was above the state in both ELA (52%) and math (48%). Freeman High School reported strong 11th-grade ACT results, including 70% in ELA and a 100% graduation rate, but those scores should not be compared directly with the other schools’ results.
Over two years, the four-school average dipped 2 points in ELA, from 57% to 55%, while rising 1 point in math, from 46% to 47%. The school-level picture varies: Wolf Creek gained 4 points in ELA and 6 in math, while Freeman Elementary fell 5 points in ELA and 4 in math. SchoolDigger ranks the district 39th of 126 districts, with four stars; its 2025–26 school rankings are 21st of 130 for Freeman High School, 52nd of 151 for Freeman Junior High and 126th of 203 for Freeman Elementary. As context, the 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 39% at Freeman Junior High and 33% at Freeman Elementary; reported student-teacher ratios were 12.5 at Wolf Creek, 15.1 at Freeman Junior High and 21.7 at Tschetter Colony. These characteristics are observations, not explanations of achievement; results also differ by grade, and the high school’s ACT scores are not directly comparable to Smarter Balanced results.
