Young students begin their academic journey at the Freeland Learning Center, which serves pre-kindergarten through first grade, which has a B rating from Niche. They then move on to Freeland Elementary School, which has earned an A-minus rating. Freeland Middle and High School share a combined campus and are known for their competitive athletics, with a B-plus Niche rating. The girls' soccer team recently made it to the state tournament, and the track and field teams consistently perform well at the state level. Hill emphasizes that Freeland's schools are among the best in the region, noting that "if you're going to pick between the school districts, it's going to be Freeland, Midland, and a little community called Bullet Creek, Freeland’s education stands out,” Hill says,
