Summary:
The city of Fremont, Iowa has only one school, Fremont Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Central School District. The district is ranked 247 out of 313 school districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Fremont Elementary has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 433 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, down from 546 out of 603 in 2018-2019. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, except for 6th-grade students. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% and serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,187), the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the school's needs. The combination of declining rankings, academic performance concerns, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors indicate that Fremont Elementary faces significant challenges and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
