Fremont Unified runs 29 elementary schools, 5 middle schools and 5 high schools, and the map is not intuitive. This is the full chain, verified against the district’s own attendance boundaries rather than any listing description.
In Fremont the middle school decides the high school. Each middle school feeds exactly one high school, and the boundaries are identical, so once you know the elementary school you know the whole chain.
| Middle school (grades 6 to 8) | High school | Elementary schools that feed it |
|---|---|---|
| Hopkins | Mission San Jose | Chadbourne, Gomes, Mission San Jose, Mission Valley |
| Horner | Irvington | Green, Grimmer, Hirsch, Leitch (TK to 2), Warm Springs (3 to 5), Weibel |
| Walters | Kennedy | Azevada, Blacow, Brier, Bringhurst, Durham, Mattos, Millard |
| Thornton | American | Ardenwood, Brookvale, Forest Park, Oliveira, Patterson, Warwick |
| Centerville | Washington | Cabrillo, Glenmoor, Maloney, Niles, Parkmont, Vallejo Mill |
Verified August 18, 2026 against the Fremont Unified School District attendance-boundary maps and FUSD’s own school descriptions. Attendance areas can change, and FUSD notes that students “may be placed outside their home school based on availability,” while immersion and magnet programs follow their own rules. Confirm your specific address with FUSD’s official school locator before relying on any school assignment. Bela Realty does not guarantee school placement.
This is the most common error in Fremont real estate copy. Weibel Elementary feeds Horner Middle School and Irvington High. The reason it gets misreported is geographic: Weibel’s northern boundary is the southern boundary of the Mission San Jose attendance area. The neighborhoods touch. The attendance areas do not overlap.
Warm Springs is served mostly by Horner and Irvington, while the Innovation District near Warm Springs BART goes to Bringhurst, Walters and Kennedy. Neither is Mission San Jose.
Vineyards, Vineyard Hills, Cameron Hills and Avalon are subdivision and marketing names. FUSD publishes nothing at that level, and at least one of them resolves to more than one high school area depending on which street you pick. Treat any school claim attached to a subdivision name as unverified until you check the address.
“94539” and “Mission San Jose schools” are used interchangeably in Fremont marketing. They are not the same thing. The 94539 ZIP code contains parts of the Mission San Jose, Irvington and Kennedy attendance areas.

Single-family means detached; condo / townhome means attached. These are medians for the whole ZIP code, not for the neighborhood alone, because the MLS does not carry a neighborhood field. Medians move with the mix of homes that happened to sell and are not the change in value of any one home. Verify specifics for any individual property.

No. Weibel Elementary feeds Horner Middle School and then Irvington High School. Weibel sits directly against the southern edge of the Mission San Jose High attendance area, which is why the two are so often confused, but it is outside it. Only Chadbourne, Gomes, Mission San Jose Elementary and Mission Valley feed Mission San Jose High, by way of Hopkins Middle School.
Exactly four: Joshua Chadbourne, John Gomes, Mission San Jose Elementary and Mission Valley. All four feed Hopkins Middle School, and Hopkins feeds Mission San Jose High.
No, and Warm Springs is split between two high schools. Most of it is served by Leitch Elementary for grades TK to 2 and Warm Springs Elementary for grades 3 to 5, then Horner Middle School and Irvington High. The Innovation District portion nearer Warm Springs BART is served by Bringhurst Elementary, then Walters Middle School and Kennedy High.
Five: Centerville, Hopkins, Horner, Thornton and Walters. They serve grades 6 to 8. FUSD calls them middle schools rather than junior highs. Each one feeds exactly one high school, with no splitting.
Verify it yourself. Attendance boundaries change, FUSD may place a student outside the home school based on availability, and immersion and magnet programs follow separate rules. FUSD's official school locator is the system of record and it answers by street address.
Each of these pages carries the same verified attendance data and the same MLS closings, read for that specific part of town.
