Fremont Elementary

Summary:

Fremont Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fowler, California, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 476 students. The school is part of the Fowler Unified School District, which is ranked 599 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fremont Elementary has shown consistent performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly below the Fowler Unified and California state averages. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.1% in 2018-2019 to 26.5% in 2021-2022, before declining to 16.4% in 2022-2023. This trend is concerning and may be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, Fremont Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Fremont Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other schools in the Fowler Unified district, such as Malaga Elementary and Marshall Elementary. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Sanger Unified district, such as Sequoia Elementary, Fremont Elementary's performance is notably lower, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, relatively high student-teacher ratio, and uneven performance across different student subgroups could help Fremont Elementary improve student outcomes and better support the needs of its diverse student 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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Fremont Elementary
