Summary:
ZIP code 54913 is served by a single elementary school: Freedom Elementary, a PK–5 building in the Freedom Area School District in Freedom, Wisconsin. It enrolls 691 students, has a favorable 13.6-to-1 student–teacher ratio, spends $13,673 per student, and reports about 19.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch — relatively low for an elementary school. Because there are no other elementary schools in the ZIP, there are no in-area peers to compare against; the meaningful benchmarks are the state of Wisconsin and the school's own prior years.
Academically, Freedom Elementary outperforms the Wisconsin state average on all 16 reported test measures across both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 — every subject, every grade, both years. Mathematics is the standout: every grade 3–5 math score beat the state by 10 points or more in 2025–2026, with third grade at 69.79% and fifth grade at 66.98% proficient. Social studies posted the largest one-year jump, rising from 66.67 to 75.96, and is now the highest score in the file. Science is the lowest score in the current set at 61.54%, yet still 8.08 points above the state. English language arts margins are consistently thinner than math margins — roughly +7 versus +13.6.
Chronic absenteeism is 8.8%, less than half the state's 17.3% and below the district's own 11.2%. The school's rating has climbed steadily — 3 stars in each of the two prior years to 4 stars in 2025–2026, with rank rising from 485th to 337th to 302nd and percentile from 54 to 68 to 71. Watch items include the current fourth-grade cohort, which slipped 4.50 points in math between grades 3 and 4, thinner ELA margins than math, and a science margin that narrowed slightly as the state improved faster. The apparent grade-5 ELA decline reflects cohort turnover, not a teaching decline.
