The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 979 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Steuben County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,530 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 41.3% local, 42.6% state, and 16.1% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $85,356 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 64/100, ranked #83 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 326.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 11.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.5% White, 3.4% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% African American across the district's schools.

Fremont Elementary School accounts for 39.9% of all Fremont Community Schools student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Fremont Community Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Fremont Community Schools is typically wider than the Fremont Community Schools-aggregate figure suggests.

Fremont Community Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 11.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
