This is a truely a great school! The teachers and administrators care about my child's education. My child was given the choice to enter the gifted program at another school or stay at Freedom. (Freedom does not have a gifted program) He hands down chose to stay at Freedom. His father and I supported that decision because we know he will get the best education at Freedom. My son loves going to school. I attribute that the teaches and staff at Freedom Elementary!

Her teachers have been fabulous, the library is great they really motivate the kids to read, she loves school going to school every day.

Every time I am at this school I am impressed with the children and the staff. From the time they get to school, lunch and the after school program, our kids are loved and taken care of. Sometimes they don't want to leave when I pick them up at the after school program!

My daughter went to private school last year and I think being at Freedom this year has made her a happier person. The work load is a little more difficult and challenges her, and she also can have a good social environment with friends in the local community.

Freedom Elementary gave our daughter the most amazing kick start to her academic career, in Kindergarten! We will be forever indebted to Claire Beth Link, Bob Whitaker, Kimberly Herring, Judy Hauser and the Freedom staff.

This is a school that pays attention to the individual--student, parent, grandparent. The principal, Claire Beth Link, is an outstanding and creative adminisitrator, deeply in touch with her teaching staff and her students. It does not surprise me that this school has received a distinguished GreatSchools Rating of 8 out of 10. The state mandated curriculum is supplemented with wonderful enrichment activities in art, music, math and science. I'm sure there is more, but this is only the second year my granddaughter has attended, and to have her so enthusiastic about first grade tells me so much.
I love Freedom Elementary. The teachers and administration are excellent. The Prinicipal, Mrs. Link, is wonderful and approachable. The childrens education and safety comes first at this school. The schools PTA are dedicated moms, dads, teachers and grandparents in making Freedom a success.
