Summary

Freeman Elementary in Irving, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 651 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Valley Ranch area, part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (Isd). Over the past decade, Freeman has shown a solid upward trajectory, consistently ranking in the 70th-80th percentile statewide since 2018 and earning a 4-star rating for four of the last five years. The school stands out for its exceptional performance with English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 93rd-96th percentile statewide for three consecutive years—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Landry Elementary, which serves a higher-poverty population and ranks lower overall. Freeman also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1 and a relatively low percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (around 29%).

However, Freeman faces intense competition from neighboring schools in the Coppell Independent School District (Isd), such as Canyon Ranch Elementary, Valley Ranch Elementary, and Richard J Lee Elementary, which consistently rank in the 91st-99th percentile. While Freeman is a solidly above-average school within its district, it is clearly outperformed by these immediate neighbors. Interestingly, Freeman’s per-student spending ($10,331) is higher than these Coppell schools (e.g., Canyon Ranch at $7,568) but lower than its lower-performing CFBISD neighbor, Landry Elementary ($12,642), suggesting that factors like district strategies and community demographics play a larger role in outcomes than spending alone.

A key concern is a "5th grade slump" in reading: 3rd graders scored 62.34% proficient in the most recent year, while 5th graders dropped to 49.09%, reversing the typical district and state trend. In contrast, math scores are consistently strong across all grade levels, exceeding both district and state averages. The 2025-2026 school year also saw volatile subgroup performance, with significant drops for Hispanic, African American, and low socio-economic status students, though this may be an anomaly. Overall, Freeman offers a strong foundation in math and exceptional ELL support, but parents should investigate the reading slump and monitor subgroup trends to ensure their child’s needs are met.

I enrolled my daughter in Freeman Elementary at the end of 2nd grade and i got amazing experience with school. My daughter liked all her teachers. She got excellent guidance for math and english. Teachers are so dedicated with every small event and studies as well. There are enough small projects for the students.
Principal is involved in all school activities.
At some point my daughter faced a small bullying incident but it was very well handled by the teachers. I need not to meet the teacher and my daughter never faced it again.
Students have access to chrome books and the school website have on line portal for English, math, science, spellings for PreK..etc. My daugther took all the benefit of the on-line portal.
I can happily give the school a thumbs-up and five stars. Close Quote
