Summary

Ericson Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 747 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Fresno Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ericson Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.61% of Ericson students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 37.11% for Fresno Unified and 48.81% for California. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 26.84% of Ericson students were proficient or better, compared to 27.15% for Fresno Unified and 37.3% for California. Additionally, Ericson has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates than the state average, reaching 20.4% in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Ericson Elementary to nearby schools within the Fresno Unified School District, such as Burroughs Elementary, Ewing Elementary, and Wishon Elementary, Ericson's academic performance is generally lower. However, the chronic absenteeism rates appear to be consistent across the nearby schools, suggesting a broader district-wide challenge. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,734 to $22,031 over the past few years, coupled with its lower academic performance, suggests the need for a closer examination of how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.
