Unlike much of the rest of the industrial Allegheny River valley, this area has been experiencing modest population growth in recent years. This influenced the district to have reorganized their schools during the 2015–2016 school year, and eliminated two school buildings (the former Freeport Jr High School and the now demolished Freeport Kindergarten Center) and to have opened the new larger Freeport Area Middle School. Buffalo Elementary and South Buffalo Elementary house kindergarten through fifth grade, Freeport Area Middle School has grades 6 through 8, and the High School has grades 9 through 12.
