Summary
Fremont High serves 2,060 students in grades 9–12 in Sunnyvale, in the South Bay, and is part of the Fremont Union High district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were above California’s in English, math and science, but below the district’s in all three; among six nearby traditional comprehensive high schools with current results, Fremont ranked last in every subject. The most important takeaway is that being above state rates does not reflect the much larger gap with Fremont’s district and nearby schools.
English is Fremont’s strongest subject relative to local results: 58% were proficient, 9 points above the state, though 22 points below the district and 23 points below the nearby-schools average. Math was 42% proficient, 3 points above the state but 31 below the district—the largest district gap. Science was 42%, 6 points above the state and 27 below the district. Its result was 26 points below the nearby-schools average. Graduation was 90%, above the state’s 88% but below the district’s 96%; chronic absenteeism was 17%, better than the state’s 18% but higher than the district’s 10%.
Proficiency has weakened since 2022–23: English fell 5 points and science 7, while math was nearly flat, down less than a point. Meanwhile, state results rose, narrowing Fremont’s lead over California; the especially steep recent decline was in science. SchoolDigger ranked Fremont 592nd of 2,137 schools, at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars, down 13 percentile points from 2024–25. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.1, close to nearby peers’ 20.9 average. In 2024–25, 24% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 16% average among those peers; this is context, not an explanation for test results. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 27th percentile, down 25 points in one year and 45 points below the school’s overall percentile, suggesting notably weaker relative standing for this group.
