Summary:
ZIP code 43420 is served by a single middle school, Fremont Middle School, which enrolls 799 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Fremont City district. Because it is the only middle school in the area, it defines the entire middle-grade picture. Its overall state ranking has been stable but mid-to-lower for three years: 618th of 1,046 schools in 2025–26, 613th of 1,036 in 2024–25, and 628th of 1,046 in 2023–24 — roughly the 40th–41st percentile, with 2 stars. The district sits at the 43rd percentile, also with 2 stars.
The clearest strength is Algebra I: 97.9% proficiency in 2025–26 versus 53.9% for the district and 61.6% statewide, up from 87.5% the year before (district 53.3%, state 59.4%). Eighth grade also performs well — ELA at 66.8%, 8.5 points above the state's 58.3%; math at 59.8%, 7.8 points above the state's 52.0%; and science at 60.2%, just 1.0 point below the state. Year-over-year gains appeared in 6th grade math (47.7% to 56.7%), 8th grade math (50.6% to 59.8%), 8th grade ELA (56.9% to 66.8%), and Algebra I (87.5% to 97.9%).
Offsetting those gains are persistent weaknesses. Seventh grade math proficiency was 21.0% in 2025–26 against the state's 48.6% — 27.6 points below — and 23.4% the prior year against 50.0%. Sixth grade ELA was 27.7% versus the state's 56.0%, and 27.6% versus 54.5% a year earlier, with almost no movement. Seventh grade ELA was 49.8% versus 62.7% statewide, also below state in both years. Chronic absenteeism is 24.7%, above the district's 20.9%, meaning nearly one in four students is chronically absent. Note too that free/reduced lunch data is not reported, and per-student spending of $9,892 dates to 2018–19.
