Summary

Fremont Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Fremont, North Carolina, serving 535 students in the Wayne County Public Schools district, where nearly all students (99.44%) qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. Despite that high-poverty context, Fremont has become a bright spot in its district, jumping from the 43rd percentile statewide in 2024-25 to the 61st percentile in 2025-26 — the largest one-year improvement of any nearby school — and earning a 3-star rating.

Fremont's strongest subject is math. In 2025-26, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 83.5%, well above the 66.4% statewide average, and average math proficiency across grades was about 72% versus roughly 64% statewide. Fifth grade science also improved dramatically, climbing from 43.2% to 67.4% proficient. The school gets strong results for students who are often underserved: low-income students rank at the 75th percentile statewide and special education students at the 62nd percentile. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from nearly 40% in 2021-22 to 22.7%, below the state average and far better than North Drive Elementary's 52.8%.

Reading remains the weaker subject, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency still trailing state averages. Fremont's year-to-year ranking has also been volatile, swinging from the 20th percentile in 2022-23 to its current 61st. Within its district, Fremont now outranks Northeast Elementary, Tommy's Road Elementary, and Stantonsburg Elementary, but trails Northwest Elementary and Rosewood Elementary. Nearby Lucama Elementary in Wilson County Schools reaches the 94th percentile with a similarly high-poverty population, showing more is possible. Fremont's per-pupil spending of $11,245 is higher than most comparable schools, and that investment appears to be supporting its recent gains.
