Summary:
The Fremont Re-2 school district in Colorado is home to two elementary schools: Fremont Elementary School and Penrose Elementary School. While both serve students in grades K-5, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.
Penrose Elementary School appears to be the stronger performing school, with higher test scores across most grade levels and subject areas, including outperforming the Fremont Re-2 district and state averages in many cases. In contrast, Fremont Elementary School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students, as well as a significantly higher free and reduced lunch rate, indicating it serves a more economically disadvantaged community.
These differences in student demographics and academic performance suggest that factors such as quality of instruction, available resources, and class sizes may be contributing to the disparity between the two schools. While both are performing below the state averages in many test areas, identifying and replicating the successful practices at Penrose Elementary School could help raise achievement levels across the Fremont Re-2 district.
