Fremont School District

The Fremont School District in New Hampshire consists of a single elementary school, Ellis School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 363 students. While the district as a whole is ranked 68 out of 158 districts in the state and rated 3 out of 5 stars, Ellis School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 117 out of 234 elementary schools (3 stars) in 2023-2024 and as low as 163 out of 237 schools (2 stars) in 2022-2023.

Academically, Ellis School's overall proficiency rates in mathematics (43%) and reading (58%) are slightly above the state averages, but there is significant variability in performance across grade levels. For example, 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency is just 21%, while 6th-grade proficiency reaches 67%. Similarly, 3rd-grade reading proficiency is 38%, while 8th-grade proficiency is 71%. Science proficiency, at 33%, is notably lower than the state average of 38%. With a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 16.53%, Ellis School serves a student population that is more affluent than the state as a whole.

Despite its small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 10:1, Ellis School's performance appears to be a mixed bag, with areas of strength and areas that could benefit from improvement efforts. The school's inconsistent academic results across grade levels and subjects suggest the need for a closer examination of curriculum, instruction, and targeted interventions to address specific learning gaps and ensure more consistent student achievement.
