Best Public Schools in Fremont, NC

Summary:

The city of Fremont, North Carolina is home to two schools: Norwayne Middle and Fremont STARS Elementary. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and K-5, respectively, within the Wayne County Public Schools district.

Norwayne Middle is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 40% of North Carolina middle schools and outperforming the district and state in mathematics and science proficiency. However, its reading proficiency lags behind, which could be an area for improvement. Fremont STARS Elementary, on the other hand, has seen a significant drop in its ranking, indicating a decline in academic performance, particularly in reading and science.

Both schools serve a high-need student population, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Fremont STARS Elementary spends more per student than Norwayne Middle, this does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. The student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively low, which could be a positive factor in student learning and support.
