Fremont Elementary School

Summary:

Fremont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Arvada, Colorado, serving 253 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 116 school districts in the state.

Fremont Elementary School faces several academic challenges. Its CMAS test scores are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts where only 29.8% of students were proficient, compared to 52% for the district and 42% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student groups, with low rankings for female students and students from low-income families. Additionally, Fremont's academic performance is lower than nearby schools like Meiklejohn Elementary and Sierra Elementary, which consistently outperform Fremont in CMAS test scores.

Despite these challenges, Fremont Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3 students per teacher, which is lower than the district and state averages. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.62%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic outcomes. Addressing these factors and implementing targeted interventions could be key to improving educational outcomes for all students at Fremont Elementary School.

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.
