Fremont Elementary

Summary:

Fremont Elementary is a public elementary school in Long Beach, California, serving 439 students in grades K-5. As part of the Long Beach Unified School District, Fremont consistently ranks among the top 10-15% of elementary schools in the state, with impressive academic performance that exceeds district and state averages.

Fremont's diverse student population includes a high percentage of Hispanic students and a significant number of students from low-income backgrounds. Despite these demographic challenges, the school's academic achievement remains strong, with 80.56% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.52% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Fremont outperforms many nearby schools, such as Naples Elementary, which also performs well, and Olivia Nieto Herrera Elementary, which has significantly lower academic performance.

However, Fremont Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.6% in 2017-2018 to 21.3% in 2022-2023. This trend will require attention and intervention from the school and district to ensure the continued success of Fremont's students. Overall, Fremont Elementary is a high-performing school that is effectively supporting its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, but the rise in chronic absenteeism is a challenge that must be addressed.

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.
