Fremont Elementary

Summary:

Fremont Elementary is a public K-8 school in Alhambra, California, serving 617 students as part of the Alhambra Unified School District. The school has shown consistent improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating in the past few years, with student performance generally on par with or slightly below the district average but significantly above the state average, particularly in 8th grade English Language Arts/Literacy and Spanish Reading/Language Arts assessments.

Fremont Elementary's strengths include the exceptional performance of its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who rank in the top 20% and top 10% of California elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's Asian student population performs relatively poorly compared to the state average, and its male students consistently outperform their female counterparts. Additionally, Fremont Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.2% in 2017-2018 to 23.8% in the current school year, which is notably higher than the district average.

Compared to nearby schools, Fremont Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other Alhambra Unified elementary schools, but significantly better than the nearby Los Angeles Unified elementary schools. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, Fremont Elementary's low-SES students perform relatively well compared to their peers across the state, suggesting the school is effectively supporting and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
