Freedom High

Summary:

Freedom High is a public high school located in Oakley, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,527 students. It is part of the Liberty Union High School District, which is ranked 682 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 448 out of 2,354 California high schools in 2011-2012 (4-star rating) to a low of 1,057 out of 2,017 in 2017-2018 (2-star rating). In the most recent school year (2023-2024), Freedom High ranked 1,047 out of 2,323 California high schools, maintaining a 3-star rating. The school's strengths include consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 97.2% to 98.7% over the past five years, and relatively low dropout rates, which are lower than nearby Golden Gate Community and Live Oak High (Continuation). However, Freedom High has faced challenges with rising chronic absenteeism, increasing from 13.2% in 2017-2018 to 31.0% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the rates at Heritage High and Liberty High.

Additionally, Freedom High's performance on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST), has been lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students having lower rankings compared to their peers, and English Language Learner and Homeless students ranking in the bottom 25% of California high schools. While Freedom High generally outperforms nearby schools in the Antioch Unified School District, such as Antioch High and Deer Valley High, it lags behind other schools in the Liberty Union High School District, like Heritage High and Liberty High.

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.
