The Junior High was built in 1923 and is no longer used as of the 2015–2016 school year, when the district added the new Freeport Area Middle School in Sarver. The old middle school gym had a cement floor and couldn't be used for sporting events. In the 1960s, the cafe was added to the school. Before then the students would travel out in Freeport and eat at several restaurants.
The junior high school used to be the high school. In 1960, a new high school was built in Sarver. Some high school events, such as football games, were still at the junior high. As of 2008, scoreboards were installed at the senior high fields, and the high school sports have been moved to the senior high. The varsity football team played at the junior high until the 2016–2017 school year, when a new athletic complex was built adjacent to the high school and middle school campuses in Sarver.
Unlike much of the rest of the industrial Allegheny River valley, this area has been experiencing modest population growth in recent[ when? ] 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.
The district includes Freeport Borough and South Buffalo Township in Armstrong County, [2] and Buffalo Township, Butler County. [3]
