School Reviews

Staff at high school are not helpful. Terrible scheduling for the students Not enough options for courses. A lot of bullying at the middle school and high school, but nothing ever gets done to resolve a situation.
2 1/5/2019
No tennis courts, terrible scheduling, not enough (good) teachers and classes.
5 2/9/2009
As a student, I highly recommend Freeport to anybody. The formerly blue ribbon school has a great staff and excellent courses. The school is very clean and easy to get around. If a student needs help or extra attention, they will get it.
