Summary:
Nine elementary schools in ZIP code 94538 serve K–5 students in Fremont Unified. Their 2025–2026 average results were above California’s in all three subjects, but below district results; scores varied widely from school to school. The most important takeaway is that the ZIP code’s results do not describe a uniform experience—school choice matters greatly.
Lila Bringhurst led math and science, with 78% and 71% proficient, while Harvey Green led ELA at 73% and came close behind in math and science at 76% and 68%. John Blacow was lowest in every subject: 36% in ELA, 37% in math and 30% in science. The gap between the highest and lowest schools was 37 percentage points in ELA, 41 in math and 41 in science. Compared with state results, Blacow was lower by 13 points in ELA, 2 in math and 6 in science; Lila Bringhurst and Harvey Green were among the schools with the strongest results. SchoolDigger places both leaders at the 92nd percentile statewide.
Across the nine schools, average proficiency fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 2 percentage points in ELA, 2 in math and 3 in science, even as state results rose in each subject. Individual trends differed: Joseph Azevada gained 12 points in math but fell 4 in science, while J. Haley Durham had the largest science drop, 15 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking fell for most schools from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026; Azevada was the exception, rising 5 points to the 88th percentile. The reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible, 2024–2025: figures ranged from 27% at Lila Bringhurst to 54% at Brier, while Harvey Green’s 39% accompanied strong results. These figures offer context, not an explanation for school results; the low-income measures are from a different school year than the latest test results.
