Preschool | Grades 6-12 | Baltimore City Public Schools

Baltimore Freedom Academy is located in Baltimore, MD and is one of 193 schools in Baltimore City Public Schools School District. It is a charter school that serves 503 students in grades 6-12.

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Baltimore Freedom Academy did not make AYP in 2011. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of Maryland in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Baltimore Freedom Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2011, Baltimore Freedom Academy had 12 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Maryland average is 15 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about Baltimore Freedom Academy's students and teachers. more
