Mission

Points Of Pride

Among our successes, we are proud to share the following statistics that highlight our students’ strength:

• 91% of the Freire High School Class of 2022 were accepted to college.
• The Class of 2022 graduates were accepted to at least 100 unique colleges and universities and earned over $6 million in scholarships and aid.
• Freire students beat local, state, and national averages year after year in their college persistence rates. In each graduating class, typically 89% to 92% of all of our first-year college freshmen return to college for their sophomore year. During COVID-19, we saw a slight decline to 81%, but this still far exceeds the national average of 69%. The Freire team is supporting students to stay on track during the unpredictability of this pandemic.
