O. N. Hirsch Elementary

Tucked into one of Fremont's established residential neighborhoods, O.N. Hirsch Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in California, with math scores that put it in the 96th percentile statewide. Fremont itself sits at the crossroads of the Bay Area — close enough to Silicon Valley and Oakland for commuters, but with a quieter, more suburban feel that families tend to appreciate. This is a school that draws academically motivated families who want rigorous academics without having to navigate a private school application.
