Fremont Elementary School

Summary:

Fremont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Florence, Colorado, serving 507 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Fremont Re-2 District, which is ranked 96 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fremont Elementary School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, racial and socioeconomic disparities, and underperformance compared to nearby schools. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in CMAS proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with only 35% proficiency in ELA and 16.7% in Math, compared to state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. Additionally, the school's White student population ranks in the bottom 10% of Colorado elementary schools, despite the school having a majority White student body. The high percentage of students (59.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sierra Vista Elementary School, Canon Exploratory School, and Penrose Elementary School, Fremont Elementary School consistently underperforms in terms of test scores, student-teacher ratios, and economic disadvantage. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional quality, providing targeted support for struggling students, and addressing the needs of the school's 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.
