Fremont High

Summary:

Fremont High is a public high school located in Sunnyvale, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,171 students. It is part of the Fremont Union High School District, which is ranked 34th out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fremont High has consistently ranked in the top 15% of California high schools, with strong academic performance on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, 61.6% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, and 42.25% were proficient or better in Mathematics, exceeding the state averages. The school maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.7% to 91.1% over the past five years, and a dropout rate generally lower than the state average. However, Fremont High faces challenges in addressing equity gaps, as its Asian and White student subgroups perform exceptionally well, while its Hispanic and English Language Learner subgroups have lower performance. Additionally, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.8% in 2017-2018 to 18.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Fremont High's performance is generally strong, with Cupertino High and Homestead High also ranking among the top 3% and top 2% of California high schools, respectively. However, Fremont High lags behind the top-performing schools in the region, such as Mountain View High, which ranks in the top 2% of California high schools. The school's proximity to the nearby Santa Clara Community Day school may indicate the presence of specialized programs or alternative educational options within the Santa Clara Unified district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
