About Schools in Freeport, Texas

Freeport's public school system runs 17 ranked schools, and the overall performance picture holds up well by most measures. The city average sits at 7.5 out of 10, and 12 of those 17 schools — 71 percent — clear the 7-point threshold. That means parents enter this market with a majority-strong field rather than hunting for isolated standouts inside an otherwise uneven system.

The elementary tier drives Freeport's performance ceiling. S F Austin Elementary tops the city at 8.7 out of 10, the highest-rated school in the market and the clearest first look for families with young children. O M Roberts Elementary and Griffith Elementary both score 8.3, while T W Ogg Elementary comes in at 8.2 — giving the K–5 range four schools rated 8.0 or above. The high school picture holds its own: Brazos Success Academy scores 8.5, ranking as one of the city's two highest-rated schools and a competitive secondary option.

For families deciding where to live in Freeport, elementary attendance zones deserve early attention. Four elementary schools scoring between 8.2 and 8.7 means address selection can meaningfully shape a child's early academic experience. The spread between the city's top school and the overall average is tight — roughly 1.2 points — so multiple neighborhoods offer credible options without forcing a single high-stakes move.

Parents doing deeper research should pull each school's detailed score breakdown alongside the overall rating. Schools on an upward trajectory sometimes carry a current composite score that lags their actual momentum, and component data surfaces that signal more clearly. With 71 percent of Freeport schools scoring 7.0 or above, the baseline here runs higher than many comparable markets — a useful reference point when cross-shopping with nearby cities where the gap between strong and weak schools can look considerably wider.
