Summary:
Freedom, Wisconsin is a small community served by three public schools — Freedom Elementary (PK–5), Freedom Middle (6–8), and Freedom High (9–12) — all part of the Freedom Area School District, which is ranked 79th of 432 districts in Wisconsin (82nd percentile) with a 4-star rating.
Across the three schools there are 1,540 students: 691 at Freedom Elementary (44.9% of the total), 339 at Freedom Middle (22.0%), and 510 at Freedom High (33.1%). All three schools currently hold 4 stars in 2025–2026, and every reported 2025–2026 test result in the data is above the corresponding state figure. Freedom Middle is the current academic leader, ranking 81st of 643 middle schools (87th percentile) — the highest percentile of the three — with an overall average proficiency about 16.58 points above the state average. It accomplishes this with the lowest per-student spending at $12,633. Freedom Elementary is the largest school and the attendance standout, with chronic absenteeism of 8.8% versus the district's 11.2% and the state's 17.3%, and its rank percentile has climbed steadily from 54 to 68 to 71. Its math results are especially strong, including 69.79% in 3rd grade versus the state's 54.75%.
Freedom High posts the area's best completion outcomes: a 99.1% graduation rate and a 0.2% dropout rate, both far above and below the state's 92.0% and 1.1%. Its ACT math proficiency of 46.61% beats the state's 42.93% but trails its own ELA and science results, and it has the highest per-student spending at $16,669 — about 22% more than Elementary and 32% more than Middle — even though student/teacher ratios are nearly identical across all three schools (13.5 to 13.7). Free/reduced lunch rates are 19.97% at Elementary, 18.58% at Middle, and 12.55% at High. Notably, Freedom Middle has the highest absenteeism among the three at 13.4% yet the strongest test results, while Freedom High's ranks have been the most volatile (80, 51, 75).
