Summary:
ZIP code 43420 covers Fremont in Sandusky County, Ohio, and contains 9 schools serving roughly 3,663 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: four elementary schools, one middle school, and four high school or 6–12 campuses. The Fremont City district operates six of the nine schools and enrolls 3,247 students — about 88.6% of the area's total — while Vanguard-Sentinel Career & Technology Centers runs two career-technical campuses and Buckeye Community School - Fremont a single charter.
Among the elementaries, Otis Elementary School is the strongest overall performer — 3 stars, 65th percentile, and 5th grade math proficiency of 89.7% against 59.1% statewide. Lutz Elementary School is the most consistent, also 3 stars, with the ZIP's lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.0%, while Atkinson Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from the 47th to the 52nd percentile and earning its first 3-star rating. Croghan Elementary School is the clear laggard: the only 1-star school and the only elementary below the 30th percentile. At the secondary level, Fremont Ross High School improved its rank three years running, with proficiency gains in five of six End-of-Course subjects and a 96.4% graduation rate, though Algebra I and Geometry stay 18–22 points below state.
Chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level: Lutz 12.0%, Otis 13.3%, Croghan 13.4%, Atkinson 19.0%, district average 20.9%, Fremont Middle School 24.7%, Ross 29.5%, and Buckeye Community School - Fremont 38.6%, which also posts a 50.0% graduation rate and a 32:1 student-teacher ratio. Ratios elsewhere run from 5.8 to 20.5. Free/reduced-lunch rates are unreported for eight of nine schools, and spending figures date to 2018–2019, so funding and poverty comparisons are not possible here.
