GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Freeport High School was cut short due to Covid during my freshman year, but once classes resumed it was Ok. The best thing about it were the art and music programs and the extracurriculars. The students were not good.

Overall freeport high school gives basic academic readiness. As an alumnus, counselors do not care for students, nor do they care for their seniors going to college. They provide little to no resources for teens who are all struggling with poverty, and they'd rather have security guards who prey on freshman girls and sell drugs to kids rather than meet the issue of support each child academically.

Best: has good classes, the counselors was nice and wonderful, has an NJROTC program in which the teachers and the chain of command are wonderful. Worst: some teachers will pass students who are literally failing (aka my living environment teacher for freeman year), some security guards let all the students who they are friends with get away with so much stuff, if you need extra help for a class don't expect them to have it because half of the time they didn't.

This school provides robust academic curricular in addition to multitude of extracurricular activities aimed at developing the WHOLE child! Astute students would take a...

I loved Freeport High School. We had so many programs, and extracurricular activities while I was there. The teachers are gems, as well as most of the staff. I know this school gets a bad rep, but honestly I have little to no complaints, other than the fact that they switched out guidance concealers...
