fremont schools: Fremont’s Five Districts - An Overview
- 04/20/09 12:55 PM
I’ve gotten a number of requests from prospective homebuyers to provide more information about Fremont. So, I’ve put together a brief overview below that describes the five districts (Mission San Jose, Irvington, Niles, Centerville and Warm Springs) that comprise Fremont. Each district has its own atmosphere and unique attributes, making the Fremont experience greater than the sum of its parts. See my previous post for more information about the Mission San Jose district. As well as being a great place to find a home, the Irvington district is Fremont’s largest shopping area, with everything from small locally-owned shops and restaurants to the mainstream shopping stores … (0 comments)
fremont schools: Lake Elizabeth Featured as “One of the Best Urban Outings” by SF Chronicle
- 03/26/09 02:49 PM

- 09/09/08 05:07 AM
Now that the school year is underway, I was reviewing the website of Mission San Jose High School for announcements. Apparently, this is the first year in which students will be required to pass the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) in order to graduate. Students must earn a score of 350 or higher on each part of the CAHSEE (language and math) in order to pass the exam. Students take the test in 10th grade – those students who don’t pass are allowed to re-take the sections of the exam that they failed when they get to 11th grade, and … (0 comments)
fremont schools: Mission San Jose High School Continues to Outperform Fremont Schools on Test Scores
- 08/26/08 05:11 AM
The latest test score results for Fremont indicate that the Mission San Jose area schools continue to outperform the rest of the Fremont Unified School District. Although this has rung true for quite some time with Fremont schools (and is reflected in price premiums for Mission homes), the internet provides us with more transparency on this. For example, GreatSchools.net obtains state test scores for each grade, in each subject (e.g., math, English) and then calculates a rating from 1 to 10 for each public school in the state. An overall GreatSchools rating of 10 for a school means that the percentage … (0 comments)
