Encyclopedia : W : WE : WEI : Weibel elementary school
Weibel Elementary school is located at the southern end of Fremont, California along Paseo Padre Parkway and South Grimmer. The K-6 public school opened in 1987 with its first kindergarten students eventually becoming the Class of 2000 as graduating high school seniors elsewhere.
Getting its name from Fred E. Weibel who owned vinyards in the area until the 80's and was on Fremont's school board, Weibel Elementary is well-known as the school that finishes first in standardized testing among other Fremont elementary schools. Parents work hard to ensure their child is allowed into the school, some camping overnight to enlist them. Weibel usually has a long waiting list.
Asians easily make up the majority of the population of the students attending Weibel as many of their parents have settled in the area working jobs in the Silicon Valley.
One of Weibel's biggest claim to fame, other than its Freeze Bell, is its Wildcat Run. Students of all grades seek donations and sponsors as they partake in a run around Weibel's multi-use grass area, accumulating stamps on their t-shirts and arms. Faculty and parents come out to cheer on the students in the biggest of days Weibel has to offer.
The facilities of Weibel are typically in very good shape, with clean classrooms and restrooms, above average computer and science facilities, a multi-functional assembly room, and a versatile playground. All classrooms have Internet access.
Weibel feeds its 800+ students to Horner Junior High School then on to Irvington High.
