Summary:
The Fremont Re-2 district in Colorado is home to two elementary schools: Fremont Elementary School and Penrose Elementary School. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom third of Colorado elementary schools based on statewide performance metrics, indicating that they are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students.
The data reveals that both Fremont Elementary School and Penrose Elementary School have relatively low statewide rankings, with Fremont Elementary ranked 731 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools and Penrose Elementary ranked 767 out of 950 for the 2024-2025 school year. Both schools are rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Additionally, the schools perform below the state average on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests across all grade levels and subjects, with only 32.1% of students at Fremont Elementary and 24.2% of students at Penrose Elementary proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.8%.
Another area of concern is the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, with 27.7% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. The relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools (over 50%) suggest that these schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
