Summary

Fremont Elementary is a public K-5 school serving about 440 students in the Delano Union Elementary district, a school facing significant academic challenges but showing recent improvement and notable strengths in specific areas.

Academically, Fremont's test scores in English and math are below the district average and those of nearby schools like Harvest Elementary and Morningside, though its science scores are a relative strength. The school has shown positive momentum, improving from a 1-star to a 2-star state rating. A significant finding is a large performance gap between female and male students. However, Fremont excels in two key areas: it has an exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism at 3.9%, far better than the state average and most local schools, and its program for English Language Learners is highly effective, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide.

Fremont operates in a high-need environment, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than several comparison schools. Per-student spending is $19,387, which is more than some higher-performing schools in the district, raising questions about resource allocation. Performance also varies widely between grade levels. When compared to a similarly-sized school like Columbine Elementary in a different district with lower poverty, the academic差距 is substantial, highlighting the challenges Fremont faces. The school's strong attendance and successful ELL program provide a crucial foundation for building broader academic improvement.
