Original Research by School Decision on Freedom Prep Charter School
Freedom Prep Charter School in New Jersey is no longer open. The New Jersey Commissioner of Education revoked its charter effective June 30, 2023, and directed the school to cease all academic activities. The Board of Trustees approved a dissolution plan covering the disposition of assets. For a parent or resident considering this district, the central fact is that it does not currently operate as a school.
Before it closed, Freedom Prep was a charter school serving middle school grades. State testing results from the 2022–23 school year, its final year, show very low proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science across all tested grades. In math, the share of students scoring at the proficient level was in the low single digits or low teens depending on the grade; several grades recorded no students reaching proficiency at all. In English language arts, the pattern was similar: the highest proficiency rate among grades was around a fifth of students, while most grades fell well below that. In science, no student tested in the available grades met the proficiency benchmark. These numbers place the school well below typical performance for New Jersey public schools, and a family would want to weigh this evidence carefully.
Enrollment and demographic data were not available for this profile, so it is not possible to describe the student body composition or economic context. The school’s charter status means it was independently operated, free from some district regulations, but ultimately that autonomy did not prevent closure.
The dissolution of the charter is the defining feature of Freedom Prep. Any parent who encounters this name should know that the school no longer exists. Those who attended have likely transferred to other schools in the area. The charter revocation process, as publicly reported, involved a directive from the state, and the school carried out a formal plan to shut down. For anyone researching school options in New Jersey, this entity is not a viable choice. The data available describes a school that struggled academically and is now closed, not an ongoing institution.
