Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) is a primary and secondary education school district located in Fremont, California, United States.
The district has 28 elementary school campuses, five junior high campuses, five high school campuses, and one alternative school campus.
The district determines attendance at schools based on where an individual lives as its first priority. There are five main attendance areas: American Attendance Area, Irvington Attendance Area, Kennedy Attendance Area, Mission Attendance Area and Washington Attendance Area. All include one high school and one junior high school, in addition to either four or six elementary schools. The attendance areas are further split up into smaller areas for the elementary schools. Often, overcrowding in elementary schools is addressed by moving students to another elementary school in the same attendance area.
The district has five comprehensive high schools for 9th through 12th grade students. The attendance areas take their names from the five high schools. American High School serves the northern part of Fremont. Irvington High School serves the southern portion of Fremont, away from the Mission San Jose. John F. Kennedy High School serves the area between Irvington and Washington. Mission San Jose High School serves the Mission San Jose neighborhood. Washington High School serves the central area of Fremont, just below American's attendance area, and extends to the Niles area, just north of Mission San Jose.
There are five junior high schools for 7th and 8th grade students, one for every attendance area. Thornton Junior High School is part of the American Attendance Area. Horner Junior High School is part of the Irvington Attendance Area. Walters Junior High School is part of the Kennedy Attendance Area. Hopkins Junior High School is part of the Mission Attendance Area. Centerville Junior High School is part of the Washington Attendance Area.
