Summary

Fremont Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 593 students in an urban setting within the Riverside Unified School District.

Academically, Fremont's overall test scores are below district and state averages, placing it in the 29th percentile statewide, which is similar to nearby schools like Emerson Elementary and Highgrove Elementary. However, it performs significantly better than Harada Elementary and worse than higher-performing schools like Magnolia Elementary and Bryant Elementary. A key strength is its exceptional support for English Language Learners, where it ranks in the 79th percentile, suggesting effective strategies for this group of students.

The school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism at 23%, which is higher than the district average and strongly correlates with lower academic performance in the area. Interestingly, nearby REACH Leadership STEAM Academy, a charter school, outperforms Fremont despite having a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending. Within the district, Fremont's performance has fluctuated over the years, and a notable pattern shows math scores declining in the upper grades while reading improves, pointing to a potential area for focused improvement.
