Summary

Fremont Elementary serves 711 students in grades K–6 in Salinas, within the Alisal Union district. In 2025–2026, 22% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 11% in math and 10% in science; the most important finding is that Fremont had the lowest all-grades results in all three subjects among the 11 nearby schools compared.

Fremont trails both its district and California in every tested subject: ELA proficiency was 9 percentage points below the district and 27 below the state; math was 12 and 27 points lower, respectively; science was 9 and 26 points lower. It also had the lowest nearby-school results in each subject. For example, its 11% in math was 14 points below the nearby-school average, while Bardin Elementary had the next-lowest result at 18%. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell to 11% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 15% and the state’s 18%; nearby schools ranged from 9% to 17%.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose by 2 percentage points, science by 3, and math fell by 2. SchoolDigger ranked Fremont in the 5th percentile overall, with 0 stars, compared with nearby schools in the 13th to 47th percentiles, all with 1 or 2 stars. SchoolDigger’s relative rankings for Migrant Students (27th percentile) and Homeless Students (39th) are notably higher than the school’s overall ranking. Fremont’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.1, close to the nearby average of 24.7. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 97% in 2024–2025, the second-highest among nearby schools, compared with a nearby average of 92%.
