Freeport was formerly home to Freeport Elementary School at 408 High Street, where all borough students attended kindergarten through sixth grade. In 2005, the school district decided to convert the school into the district's Kindergarten Center, where all of the district's students attended kindergarten until 2014. In 2014, the Kindergarten Center was closed and students attending were moved to the Elementary schools in Buffalo and South Buffalo Townships.

Completely new, or extensively remodeled Elementary School buildings were built between 2011 and 2013. Currently, the borough elementary students (grades K–5) attend either Buffalo Elementary in Sarver, or South Buffalo Elementary in South Buffalo Township.

Grades 6–8 now attend the Freeport Middle School, a new facility opened in fall 2015 on the High School campus at 629 South Pike Road in Buffalo Township. Like the Kindergarten center, Freeport Junior High School was also formerly located in the town limits, at 325 4th Street and was permanently closed after the spring commencement in 2015.

Students attend ninth through twelfth grade at Freeport Area Senior High School, at 621 South Pike Road in Buffalo Township.

The Freeport sports teams are known as the Yellow Jackets. Up until the close of the 2015–16 school year, all of the district's varsity football home games were held at James Swartz Sr. Memorial Field in the borough. The field was also used for some varsity and junior varsity baseball games, and varsity boys' and girls' soccer games. A new stadium was completed at the High School campus in Buffalo Township.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.freeport.k12.pa.us/domain/450 |title=Athletics Complex Project / Athletics Complex Project |access-date=2016-05-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160509080857/http://freeport.k12.pa.us/domain/450 |archive-date=2016-05-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It opened in the fall of 2016. Beginning with the opening of the new Middle School building on the High School campus, band, chorus and other stage performances were moved to the new Middle School auditorium which is now the largest and best equipped venue in the school district.
