What stands out at Freedom Elementary School

Freedom Elementary School is a lower-poverty, small combined-grade school in Freedom, New Hampshire, enrolling 52 students.

Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 8.7:1 puts it in the smaller third of New Hampshire schools by student-teacher ratio.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 18.8% lands close to the New Hampshire typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

This is a small campus: fewer students than 92% of New Hampshire schools, with 52 enrolled.

Its Resource Investment Index outscores 98% of the 500 New Hampshire schools with a score on record, a top-tier result on this measure.

Among 30 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need New Hampshire schools statewide, it ranks #3, a top-tier result once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is predominantly White (94% of enrollment) (diversity index 11/100).

13.5% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.

The surrounding Freedom School District spends $93,583 per pupil, 230% above the New Hampshire average, a better-resourced district than most.
