Summary

James S. Fugman Elementary is a highly-regarded K-6 public school serving 893 students in Fresno, California, as part of the Clovis Unified School District.

The school is a consistent top performer, ranking in the top 5% of all California elementary schools for over a decade, with students scoring significantly higher in English, math, and science than both district and state averages. A standout strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.1%, which is far better than most nearby schools and suggests a highly engaged school community. While still elite, recent data shows a slight dip in its overall ranking and test scores, which coincides with a gradual increase in the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to other schools in Clovis Unified, such as Liberty Elementary and Garfield Elementary, Fugman achieves its outstanding results while spending less per student and operating with a higher student-to-teacher ratio. Its science scores are a particular area of excellence, dramatically outpacing even its highest-achieving peers. The school's performance remains strong across different student groups and grade levels, demonstrating a consistent and effective educational program.

Tuesday, September 26, 2017

My children have attended Fugman from K-4 and K-3 until we recently had to move for my husband's job out of the area. I can tell you it is truly an excellent school with a superior academic curriculum. I am sorry I had to pull my children out of the school as they are not receiving the same education they received from the school nor the teachers. Fugman expects a lot from their students, but it prepares them for middle school, which is what you want from your elementary. I can not say enough great things about the school and Clovis Unified.
