Summary

Freedom Elementary is a K–6 school on Happy Jack Road in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with 323 students. Its 2025–2026 results show that mathematics is its clearest strength, though performance varies by grade. The most important finding for families is that strong math results in most tested grades are offset by a recurring fourth-grade dip across both math and English language arts.

Overall, Freedom’s math results are well above district and state averages: 71% proficient across grades 3–6, compared with 56% in Laramie County School District #1 and 60% statewide. It also outperformed nearby schools’ averages in math in grades 3 and 5; in grade 5, for example, 83% were proficient, compared with a nearby average of 49%. Fourth grade is the exception: 54% were proficient in math, below the district’s 57% and the state’s 63%. In ELA, Freedom averaged 63% across grades 3–6, above the state’s 58%; yet fourth-grade ELA was 44%, below the nearby average of 47%, the district’s 52% and the state’s 53%. Fourth-grade science was slightly above the state, at 57% versus 56%.

Math has improved substantially, rising 16 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026. ELA remains above the state overall, but has varied from year to year, falling 4 points from its 2024–2025 peak. SchoolDigger ranks Freedom 45th of 148 statewide, at the 70th percentile with 4 stars; its district’s ranking is at the 41st percentile with 2 stars. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Freedom serves male students was at the 47th percentile, compared with 70 overall, down from 73 the prior year; its measure for special education students was at the 37th percentile, down from 69 in 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-lowest share among nearby schools with the same measure and year; the student-teacher ratio was 12.4.
