These schools serve students from the Freeport Area School District, which is ranked 43rd out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and receives a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freeport Area Senior High School stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state.

In contrast, South Buffalo Elementary School, while still performing well, does not demonstrate the same level of excellence, with more mixed results in English Language Arts proficiency compared to its strong performance in math and science.

The data also reveals socioeconomic differences within the district, with Freeport Area Senior High School having a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 27.29%, while South Buffalo Elementary School has a higher percentage at 47.53%.
