Summary

Kastner Intermediate is a well-regarded public middle school serving about 1,155 students in grades 7 and 8 within the high-performing Clovis Unified School District in Fresno, consistently earning a 4-star rating that places it in the top 15% of all California schools.

What truly sets Kastner apart is its exceptional effectiveness in supporting all students to achieve strong academic results, particularly in English and Science, even while serving a community with significant economic need. When compared to geographically close schools in the neighboring Fresno Unified district, like Ahwahnee Middle or Tenaya Middle, Kastner achieves dramatically higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism, despite those schools often spending more per student. Within its own district, Kastner serves as a reliable bridge, successfully educating a student population with greater needs than elite peers like Granite Ridge Intermediate, while maintaining stronger outcomes than its most similar district counterpart, Clark Intermediate.

The school has shown remarkable consistency and a solid recovery from pandemic-era challenges. While mathematics is an identified area for growth compared to other Clovis Unified schools, Kastner's overall record demonstrates that a school can provide a top-tier education regardless of its community's economic background, offering a compelling model of resource efficiency and student support.

They have an inspiring principle (Mr. Eisele) that really cares about his school and students. And from the top of the chain of command to the bottom you will find teachers and staff that are very freindly and welcoming. I love this school and everything that they stand for. Close Quote
