Summary

Fremont Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 366 students in the Montebello Unified School District, located in a high-need community where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with its overall performance ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools and proficiency rates in English and science notably below state averages. A key concern is a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.6%, which is higher than both the district and state averages and among the highest of nearby schools like Greenwood Elementary (29.1%). When compared to other local schools, Fremont's academic results are generally lower; for instance, Montebello Gardens Elementary and Rio Vista Elementary in the neighboring El Rancho Unified district have significantly higher proficiency scores and lower absenteeism.

Despite these challenges, Fremont shows some areas of relative strength, particularly in supporting its English Language Learner students, whose performance ranks above the state average. The school's math scores, while still low, recently surpassed the struggling district average, with third-grade math showing a notable bright spot. However, the school operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several peers within its own district, such as Montebello Gardens Elementary and Wilcox Elementary. Addressing chronic absenteeism and achieving more consistent teaching effectiveness across all grades appear to be critical areas for improvement.
