Fremont Elementary

Summary:

Fremont Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 433 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Fresno Unified school district, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fremont Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores across all grade levels and subjects, and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with 92-95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance is consistently lower than both the district and state averages, and it underperforms most of the nearby schools within the same district, including Homan Elementary and Hamilton Elementary. The only nearby school that outperforms Fremont Elementary is Morris E. Dailey Charter Elementary, a public charter school.

Fremont Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 3908 out of 5530 California elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 5066 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance has been worsening relative to other schools in the state. This indicates that Fremont Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and alternative educational models, such as the nearby charter school, may be more effective in addressing the needs of this community.

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.
