Summary:

The 43 schools in Fremont Unified—29 elementary, five middle, eight high schools and one alternative program—serve students in Fremont, California, from elementary through high school. The most important finding is how widely proficiency varies from school to school: in 2025–26, the highest-to-lowest gap was 73 percentage points in English language arts (ELA), 86 in mathematics and 73 in science; even among regular schools, gaps ranged from 58 to 61 points.

Several schools stood out at the top. American High led ELA at 89%; Mission San Jose Elementary led mathematics at 88% and tied Fred E. Weibel Elementary for the science lead at 82%. William Hopkins Middle also performed strongly, with 85% in ELA, 84% in mathematics and 77% in science. At the bottom, Robertson High (Continuation) scored 15% in ELA, 2% in mathematics and 9% in science; among regular schools, Cabrillo Elementary was lowest, at 31%, 27% and 22%. SchoolDigger also ranked Mission San Jose Elementary 38th and Weibel 39th among 5,804 elementary schools, and Hopkins 36th among 2,703 middle schools.

Recent trends differ by school type, so no single direction describes the district. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the five middle schools’ average gaps from state results widened by about 3 points in ELA, 1 in mathematics and 3 in science; for the five comprehensive high schools, those gaps narrowed by about 4, 3 and 2 points, respectively. Individual schools varied: American High improved in all three subjects, while Mission San Jose High fell 8 points in ELA and 6 in mathematics. Income measures offer context, not an explanation: in 2024–25, Weibel reported 13% free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 71% at Cabrillo, alongside markedly different proficiency results.
