Summary

Freeman High School - 01 is a public high school serving 95 students in grades 9-12 in Freeman, South Dakota. The school is part of the Freeman School District 33-1, which is ranked 79 out of 147 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freeman High School - 01 has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 5th out of 135 South Dakota high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 111th out of 166 in 2024-2025. The school's performance across different student subgroups is also mixed, with female students performing relatively well but male and Hispanic students struggling. The school's test scores in Smarter Balanced Assessments have been below the state average in several subjects and grade levels, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 82.1% and 86.4%, slightly below the state average.

When comparing Freeman High School - 01 to nearby high schools, such as Canistota High School - 01, it becomes evident that the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below its peers. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not necessarily reflect this level of investment. The variable ranking and the need for improvement in certain areas suggest that there may be opportunities for the district and school leadership to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to these trends.
