District-Level NCES Analysis

FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS operates 12 public schools serving 5,217 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Nebraska. The school portfolio breaks down into 9 other, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 5,357 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Dodge County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,169 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 53.3% local, 35.4% state, and 11.2% 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 $82,765 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 29/100, ranked #176 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 12 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 341.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 19.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 49.3% Hispanic or Latino, 46.5% White, 0.9% African American across the district's schools.

Fremont Senior High School accounts for 31.3% of all FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.

FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS school enrollment varies 58× across entities

FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS school enrollment ranges from 29 students (lowest) to 1,677 students (highest), a spread of 1,648 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 52.6% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS student-counselor ratio is 342:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 PUBLIC SCHOOLS is typically wider than the FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS-aggregate figure suggests.

FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS chronic absenteeism rate is 19.7% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS is typically wider than the FREMONT PUBLIC SCHOOLS-aggregate figure suggests.
