Elementary Schools in Fremont Public School District

Summary:

The Fremont Public School District in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Pathfinder Elementary School and Daisy Brook Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and have demonstrated reasonably strong performance within the district.

Pathfinder Elementary School has consistently ranked higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, reaching as high as 369 out of 1,589 Michigan elementary schools in 2008-2009. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance. In contrast, Daisy Brook Elementary School has demonstrated particularly strong academic performance, with higher-than-average proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math compared to the district and state averages. Daisy Brook's 5th-grade proficiency rates in M-Step/Science (55.6%) and M-Step/Social Studies (36.8%) are notably higher than the district and state averages as well.

Both schools face challenges related to high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5% and serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by their high free and reduced lunch rates (66.52% for Pathfinder and 63.86% for Daisy Brook). The higher spending per student at Daisy Brook ($15,003) compared to Pathfinder ($14,401) may be a contributing factor to the former's stronger academic performance, though other factors, such as teaching quality and school leadership, also play a crucial role.
