Summary:

Freeman Middle School is a public middle school located in Rockford, Washington, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 219 students. The school is part of the Freeman School District, which is ranked 46 out of 247 school districts in Washington and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Freeman Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (over 90%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like North Pines Middle School and Bowdish Middle School, its academic performance on state assessments (SBAC and WCAS) is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in math and science. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in SBAC Math (38.66%) and WCAS Science (27.14%) were well below the state averages (41.68% and 49.73%, respectively). Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 61 out of 437 Washington middle schools in 2017-2018 to a current ranking of 302 out of 535 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Freeman Middle School has a relatively low percentage of students from low-income families (around 25%), the nearby schools, such as North Pines Middle School and Bowdish Middle School, have much higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic disparity may contribute to differences in educational resources and opportunities available to students. When comparing Freeman Middle School to the nearby middle schools, it becomes evident that the school's academic performance is generally lower, particularly in math and science, suggesting that Freeman Middle School may benefit from examining the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the area to identify areas for improvement.

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.
