Freedom Elementary

Summary:

Freedom Elementary is a public elementary school in Clovis, CA, serving 697 students in grades K-6 as part of the Clovis Unified school district.

While Freedom Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, it lags behind the district average, particularly in the higher grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 6th-grade proficiency rates were 63.79% in English Language Arts and 46.55% in Math, compared to the district's 65.48% and 52.08%, respectively. Additionally, Freedom Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.6% in 2018-2019 to 18.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average of 15.8%.

Interestingly, Freedom Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students lagging behind their Hispanic and low-socioeconomic peers.

While Freedom Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby Jefferson Elementary, Miramonte Elementary, and other Clovis Unified schools, it lags behind the district's top-performing schools, such as Red Bank Elementary and Reagan Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
