Elementary Schools in Fremont-Mills Community School District

Summary:

The Fremont-Mills Community School District has one elementary school, Fremont-Mills Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 267 students. While the school has some positive metrics, it also faces challenges in terms of inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism.

Fremont-Mills Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, varies significantly across grade levels and subjects. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 191 out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 422 out of 576 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.32% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

While the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,355, and its student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 14.8 (slightly lower than the state average), the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 21.6%, which is relatively high and may be a concern that the district should address. Overall, the district and the school may want to closely examine these areas and develop targeted strategies to improve the school's overall performance and support the needs of its students.
