Summary

Fremont Junior High School in Mesa, Arizona, enrolls 822 students in grades 7–8 and is part of Mesa Unified District. Its all-grades English language arts proficiency is 41%, matching the state rate, while math proficiency is 31%, close to the state’s 33% and the district’s 31%. But those overall figures hide the school’s clearest difference: 8th graders outperform 7th graders in both subjects, by 9 percentage points in ELA and 13 points in math.

Compared with nearby schools, Fremont’s all-grades results are below local averages: ELA is 41% versus 49%, and math is 31% versus 38%. Among Fremont and 10 nearby schools, it ranks 8th in ELA and 7th in math. The grade-level contrast is especially sharp: 7th-grade ELA and math proficiency are 36% and 24%, below state rates of 43% and 27%; 8th-grade results are 45% and 37%, above state rates of 39% and 30%, and close to nearby same-grade averages. Science is a relative strength against the state and district: 8th-grade proficiency was 30%, equal to the state and 4 points above the district, though below the nearby average of 38%.

Science results rose from 28% in 2022–23 to 30% in 2024–25, after dipping to 25%; the state rate reached 30% in the latest year, so Fremont finished level with it. SchoolDigger rates Fremont at the 53rd statewide percentile with 3 stars for 2025–26, compared with the district’s 41st percentile and 2 stars; Fremont’s recent percentile has been steady at 51–53, below earlier recorded highs such as 73 in 2020–21. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for female students is notably lower than the school’s overall standing: the group ranked at the 31st percentile, down from the 40th percentile in 2023–24, versus 53rd overall. Fremont’s student-teacher ratio was 17.9, slightly below the nearby average of 18.6, and its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 45% in 2022–23; these figures are context, not explanations for test results.

Monday, September 15, 2014

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
