Summary

Tioga Middle is a public middle school in Fresno, California, serving 711 students in grades 7-8. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently underperforming academic results compared to the Fresno Unified School District and the state of California.

Tioga Middle's academic performance lags behind, with only 34.09% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 27.2% in Mathematics, compared to 37.11% and 27.15% for Fresno Unified, and 48.81% and 37.3% for California, respectively. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 34.6% over the past few years. While the school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is relatively strong, other subgroups, such as Asian and White students, perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of California middle schools.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,345 in 2023-2024) than the state average, Tioga Middle's academic outcomes have not improved proportionately. The school's student-teacher ratio of 21.4 is also higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools in the Fresno Unified School District, such as Tehipite Middle, Cooper Middle, and Tenaya Middle, Tioga Middle's performance is generally lower, though it does outperform some of the district's lowest-performing schools.
