Freeport Area School District (FASD) in Pennsylvania, United States is home to the Yellowjackets and Buffalo Elementary School, South Buffalo Elementary School, Freeport Area Middle School, and Freeport Area High School. Buffalo Elementary School, the Freeport Area Middle School, and the Freeport Area High School, along with the Administration building, are in Sarver, Butler County, and South Buffalo Elementary School is located in South Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania in Armstrong County. In 1969, the political divisions of Freeport, Buffalo and South Buffalo merged to form the Freeport Area School District. FASD lies along the banks of the Allegheny River and is on the mouth of Buffalo Creek. It is located about 25–30 miles north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The community is a mix of Pittsburgh suburbia and rural areas.
South Buffalo Elementary was recently remodeled following the remodeling of Buffalo Elementary. They look similar but South Buffalo is smaller, while Buffalo is larger.
The District was reorganized prior to the 2015-2016 school year, to eliminate two school buildings (the former Freeport Jr High School and the Freeport Kindergarten Center) and to open the new Freeport Area Middle School.
Freeport Area School District was ranked 63rd out of the 498 ranked Pennsylvania School Districts in 2008 by the Pittsburgh Business Times. The ranking was based on student academic achievement as demonstrated by 3 years of PSSA results in: reading, writing, math and one year of science.
