Among California's 5,817 elementary schools, Fremont ranks 239th, a result that reflects sustained student progress across multiple cohorts, not a single outlier year.

Families comparing elementary options in Alhambra will find few schools performing at this level, and fewer still when the search widens to the rest of California.

The student-teacher ratio at Fremont Elementary is 22.4:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
