District-Level NCES Analysis
Fremont Re-2 operates 3 public schools serving 1,390 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Colorado. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Fremont County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,160 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 18 of 180 Colorado districts by per-pupil spending. See how Colorado compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 37.2% local, 50.6% state, and 12.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 29/100, ranked #119 of 142 in Colorado 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 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 314.3:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 51.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 74.3% White, 20.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Fremont Elementary School, with a diversity index of 46.1/100.
Its largest campus is Florence Jr./Sr. High School, enrolling 572 students (44% of the district's total enrollment).
Florence Jr./Sr. High School accounts for 41.2% of all Fremont Re-2 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Fremont Re-2-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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 Re-2 school enrollment varies 2.0× across entities
Fremont Re-2 school enrollment ranges from 281 students (lowest) to 572 students (highest), a spread of 291 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Fremont Re-2 student-counselor ratio is 314:1 — 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 Re-2 is typically wider than the Fremont Re-2-aggregate figure suggests.
Fremont Re-2 chronic absenteeism rate is 51.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
