Summary:
The city of Freeport, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Brazosport Independent School District (Isd). While a few schools stand out in specific academic areas, the overall performance of the Freeport schools is relatively low compared to state averages, and they face significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement.
Freeport Intermediate (middle school) has the highest proficiency rates in STAAR EOC Algebra I and strong performance in 8th grade STAAR Math, significantly outpacing the district and state. Meanwhile, O'Hara Lanier Elementary has the highest proficiency in 3rd grade STAAR Reading and Math, exceeding the district and state averages. However, the statewide ranking history shows that most Freeport schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas schools.
Across the district, the schools face challenges with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.38% at Brazosport High School to 91.76% at O'Hara Lanier Elementary. This suggests significant socioeconomic barriers that may be contributing to the mixed academic performance, with many proficiency rates falling below state averages. Additionally, the student population has a large Hispanic majority, ranging from 68.24% to 76.76%, while the White student population is relatively low.
