Summary:
The 52561 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Fremont Elementary, which serves students from the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Central School District. Despite its small student population of 113, Fremont Elementary has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.
Fremont Elementary's academic performance has been a persistent challenge, with test scores that fall below district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 50%, compared to the district's 70% and the state's 67.9%. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has been poor, with only 1 out of 5 stars in the 2024-2025 school year and 0 out of 5 stars in previous years.
While Fremont Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student, these resources have not translated into academic success. The school's high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 32.74% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges. Addressing both academic and socioeconomic factors through targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help Fremont Elementary improve its performance and provide a high-quality education to its students.
