Summary:
Families in Fremont, Indiana have three public schools to choose from — one elementary, one middle, and one high school — all part of Fremont Community Schools, which serves 979 students across grades K–12. The district ranks 62nd of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 83rd percentile with a 4-star rating. Fremont Elementary School covers grades K–4 with 391 students, Fremont Middle School serves grades 5–8 with 286 students, and Fremont High School enrolls 302 students in grades 9–12.
Fremont High School is the district's academic anchor, currently ranked 53rd of 415 schools (87th percentile, 4 stars) after reaching the 93rd–95th percentile in the two prior years. Its SAT Math result of 35.14% more than doubles the state's 25.6%, SAT EBRW is 58.11% vs. 51.9% statewide, and its graduation rate of 94.1% tops the state's 89.7%. Fremont Middle School stands out for attendance, with chronic absenteeism of 3.0% against 5.9% districtwide and 16.7% statewide, plus 5th grade social studies at 71.83% vs. the state's 47.2%. Fremont Elementary School also has low absenteeism (4.4%) and strong 4th grade science at 60% vs. 43.8% statewide.
Areas to watch include high school chronic absenteeism at 10.6% — nearly 1.8 times the district's 5.9%, though still below the state — middle school science at 45.21% vs. the district's 53.76%, and elementary 4th grade math at 42% vs. the state's 52%. The elementary school's overall rank is 373rd of 1,015 (63rd percentile, 3 stars). Free/reduced lunch rates are similar across all three schools, from 40.56% to 44.25%, so academic differences are unlikely to be explained by that alone. Spending and staffing diverge most at the high school: $16,544 per student with a 15.8 student-teacher ratio, versus $15,472 and 11.2 at the middle school and $14,264 and 11.6 at the elementary.
