Summary

Freedom Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 570 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Southside Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 561 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Freedom Elementary has had fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from the top 43% in 2022-2023 to the bottom 7% in 2018-2019. The school's overall rating has also varied, from 0 stars to 3 stars. However, Freedom Elementary stands out for its strong performance with English Language Learners (ELLs) and low-income students, consistently ranking in the top 25% and top 30% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, in these categories. This is particularly noteworthy given that the school has a very high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 91.5% to 95.26%.

In comparison, nearby Heritage Elementary has consistently performed better, ranking in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools and achieving a 4-star rating. Conversely, Compass Rose Legacy Elementary, a public charter school, has underperformed, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. These comparisons highlight the variability in academic performance within the same geographic area and the importance of considering school-specific factors beyond just proximity.
