Summary

Freedom Middle is a grades 6–8 middle school serving 339 students in Freedom, Wisconsin, part of the Freedom Area School District. It ranks 81st of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 87th percentile, 4 stars — placing it in the top roughly 13% statewide, while its district ranks 79th of 432 (82nd percentile, 4 stars).

The school's recent trajectory is a turnaround story. After a low point at the 47th percentile in 2021–2022, it climbed to 57th percentile in 2022–2023, 77th in 2023–2024, 70th in 2024–2025, and 87th in 2025–2026 — near its 2015–2016 high. On 2025–2026 Forward Exam results it beat the state in every tested subject and grade: ELA at 71.3% proficient in grade 6, 69.83% in grade 7, and 72% in grade 8 (state roughly 54–55%); math at 67.59%, 72.41%, and 73.27% (state roughly 54–56%); social studies at 79% vs. 64.63% statewide; and science at 71.29% vs. 51.86%. That science result tops most nearby middle schools, including Gerritts Middle (65.87%), Wrightstown Middle (66.67%), and River View School (60.76%). Gerritts Middle ranks higher overall (93rd percentile) and leads in ELA and math, but Wrightstown Middle is academically very close (86th percentile).

School-level effectiveness for student groups stands out: special education students rank 12 of 439 (97th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026, and low-SES students rank 65 of 513 (87th percentile, 4 stars), consistently in the 83rd–87th percentile over three years. The dropout rate was 0.4%, well below the state. Chronic absenteeism is the main watch item: 13.4% in 2024–2025, up from 8.8% the year before. That is below the state's 17.3% but above Wrightstown Middle (4.6%) and Gerritts Middle (10.6%). Spending was $12,633 per student, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.5 and 18.58% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
