Summary

Freedom Elementary is a public elementary school located in Freedom, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 708 students. The school is part of the Freedom Area School District, which is ranked 165 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a current ranking of 337 out of 1,044 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on the Forward Exam is generally above the state average, with 5th-grade students performing particularly well in English Language Arts (69.52% proficient or better) and Mathematics (68.57% proficient or better) compared to the state averages of 51.26% and 52.58%, respectively. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top quartile of Wisconsin schools in recent years.

While Freedom Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby Janssen Elementary and Haen Elementary, the nearby Classical School, a public charter school, has consistently outperformed Freedom Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam. The school's increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.1% in 2021-2022 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, is an area of concern that the school should address to ensure all students are consistently engaged and attending school.
