They put special education at a minimum, the principal could care less about bullying or the affects on the students. She simply cares about her numbers. They fake the special ed kids standardized testing, or used to, to get higher numbers and recognition.

"We’ve lived here for 2 years and find Freeport to be a friendly and welcoming community. After living in Southern California for 30 years it’s like a breath of fresh air. No traffic jams, crime rate is low, and plenty of shopping and eateries. Beautiful parks and good city services. Happy we found Freeport "

"Now to many community events in freeport for kid's. Rockford's way better. Freeport would be Alot better if they offered more things for families to do together. Also it's very hard getting your children into thing's that cost money. They need to think about the lower income families not just families that are well off and don't live paycheck to paycheck. Thanks"
