Summary:
The four public schools in Freeport, Texas, all part of the Brazosport Independent School District (Isd), serve approximately 2,478 students from Pre-K through 12th grade, with a high average economic disadvantage rate of nearly 73% across the city.
The standout performer is Freeport Intermediate, which boasts an exceptional Algebra I program where 81.25% of 8th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically outperforming the district and state averages. However, this school shows a stark "two-tier" system, as its general 7th-grade math proficiency is only 10.79%. In contrast, O'Hara Lanier Elementary is the most consistent school, earning a 2-star rating for three straight years with relatively strong 3rd-grade reading scores (56.15% proficient). The most challenged school is Freeport Elementary, which has the highest poverty rate (82.14%) and no recent test score data available. Brazosport High School is a relative bright spot, with test scores in Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History consistently meeting or exceeding district averages, and it has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.6:1) and highest per-student spending ($14,309).
A critical finding is a "reading cliff" between elementary and middle school: while O'Hara Lanier Elementary's 3rd-grade reading proficiency exceeds the state average, 6th-grade reading at Freeport Intermediate plummets to 33.77%, well below the state's 53.52%. This suggests a breakdown in reading instruction during the transition. Additionally, Freeport Intermediate's state ranking has sharply declined from the 46th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026, while O'Hara Lanier Elementary has slightly improved. The high school's graduation rate is 89.5%, slightly below the district's 90.1%, with a dropout rate of 1.3%.
