Fremont Middle School
Fremont Middle School was the original building that was built for the district in 1957. The school only had 12 classrooms and one small gym to host all the students in totaling 18,200 square feet. Every year, the district kept getting more and more students moving into the district and it was getting very tight in the very few classrooms.
In the early 1990s, a whole new wing of classrooms was added on both floors, and they got a brand new gymnasium. Then in 2007 after the modeling project was completed, the school now has 41 classrooms, 2 gymnasiums, a media center, science labs, and a cafeteria totaling 99,600 square feet.
Until the late 1990s, the middle school hosted all the grades k-8 in the building until the elementary building was built. Until the elementary building was built, the middle school was called Fremont School. Once that was finished, the grades K-3 moved to the new building making the middle school hosting the grades 4-8. That was all in place until the intermediate school was built in 2007. And since it was built, the middle school hosts the grades 6-8.
In the 2007-2008 school year, the school added teams to each grade. Each student in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade would either be put on the White or Green team. Those colors represent the school's mascot colors. The students can get moved around from team to team every year.
Fremont Middle School also housed the state champ Cale Sethna in cross country during the 2016 season.

Fremont Intermediate School
The Fremont Intermediate School was built and added to the district in 2007 making it the newest building in the district. It was built with 51 classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, and a media center in 118.458 square feet making it the biggest building out of the districts 3. The Intermediate School hosts the grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th. It is connected to the Elementary School next door.
It opened for its first school year for the 2007-2008 school year. The building wasn't finished completely in time. The gym was still until construction along with the cafeteria. So the students had to use the Elementary School for lunch and gym class for the first few months of the school year.
