Fremont Middle School

Summary:

Fremont Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Fremont, Nebraska, part of the Fremont Public Schools district. With 744 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools over the past decade, currently holding a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fremont Middle School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates consistently below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 26.4% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance for student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and special education students, is in the bottom half or bottom third of Nebraska middle schools, indicating equity challenges.

Addressing the root causes of Fremont Middle School's academic struggles, chronic absenteeism, and equity challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for all students.

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.
