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 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Dodge County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,941 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 25 of 244 Nebraska districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 53.3% local, 35.4% state, and 11.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 30/100, ranked #169 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 12 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 341.6:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, 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. Its most demographically mixed campus is Fremont Middle School, with a diversity index of 54.1/100.
Its largest campus is Fremont Senior High School, enrolling 1,677 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Sixpence Preschool, at 29 students, a 58x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Fremont Senior High School accounts for 31.3% of all Fremont Public Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration 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.
Fremont Public Schools has 12 schools, including 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle, 9 combined. Total enrollment is 5,217 students.
