Summary:
The Freeport Union Free School District in New York is home to a single high school, Freeport High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, its academic performance appears to be below average compared to other high schools in the state.
Freeport High School has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and is ranked 777 out of 1,242 high schools in New York for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating it is performing below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher. While the school excels in social studies subjects like Global History and Geography and U.S. History and Government, it struggles in math and science, with low proficiency rates in Algebra I, Geometry, and Earth Science.
Despite the district's investment in the school, with higher-than-average per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has been declining over the past few years. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 61.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and targeting specific areas for improvement, such as math and science, could be important focus areas for the district to help improve the overall performance of Freeport High School.
