Summary:

Freedom High is a public high school located in Morganton, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,414 students. The school is part of the Burke County Schools district, which is ranked 110 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Freedom High has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a racial makeup of 47.38% White, 7.71% African American, 33.45% Hispanic, 4.1% Asian, and 7.28% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Course (EOC) exam proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Freedom High's proficiency rates were 48.5% in Biology, 49.6% in English II, 34.5% in Math I, and 57.2% in Math III, compared to the state averages of 53.4%, 59.7%, 36.9%, and 57.6%, respectively. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from being ranked 170 out of 469 North Carolina high schools in 2017-2018 to 388 out of 640 in 2023-2024.

Freedom High faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.39% in 2021-2022 to 63.58% in 2022-2023, suggesting significant socioeconomic needs. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for Hispanic and African American students compared to Asian and White students. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted strategies to improve overall academic achievement, address equity concerns, and learn from the successful practices of nearby higher-performing schools, such as Jimmy C Draughn High School and Robert L. Patton High School.

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.
