Elementary Schools in Fremont Unified

Fremont Unified School District serves a diverse community in the San Francisco Bay Area with 29 elementary schools (grades K-6) that, as a whole, perform significantly above state averages in English, math, and science.

The district features several standout schools, including top-ranked Warm Springs Elementary and Fred E. Weibel Elementary, which consistently achieve academic excellence with very low chronic absenteeism. Other high performers like John Gomes Elementary and Mission San Jose Elementary also rank in the state's top percentiles. In contrast, schools such as Cabrillo Elementary and Brier Elementary face greater challenges, with proficiency rates well below the district average and higher rates of student economic need.

Key findings show a strong link between lower chronic absenteeism and higher academic performance, and that higher per-student spending does not automatically lead to better outcomes, as seen at Cabrillo. Notably, Harvey Green Elementary demonstrates that strong results are possible even with a higher percentage of students in economic need. Parents should note that performance varies widely across the Fremont Unified district, making it important to look at individual school data on test scores, absenteeism, and student support services.
