Similarly, in 8th grade English Language Arts, Fremont's proficiency rate is also higher than the district and state, reaching 44% in 2022-2023.

I only gave them one star because zero is not a choice. This school used to be decent when my daughter went there. Now they cant seem to figure out their computer grading system teachers don't enter grades. most kids have d's and F's do to a lack of Teacher /student and grade book communication. I have had to go to school almost everyday since it started and fight just to keep my sons grades entered... currently he has one class with no grades entered, one that says hes missing in class work when he is there... Its a losing battle with this school I also know four parents that have pulled their kids out to take on home schooling because of the same issues. DO Not put your kids in this school if you have a choice! Close Quote
