Summary:
Fresno Unified includes 100 schools: 70 elementary, 14 middle, 15 high and one alternative school, serving students from elementary grades through high school in the Fresno area. The supplied school records show marked differences in performance: among schools with 11th-grade results, ELA proficiency ranges from 5% to 85%, mathematics from 5% to 54%, and science from 2% to 56%. The most important takeaway is that a district-wide picture can hide large differences between individual schools and programs.
Edison Computech and Manchester Gate stand out across all three subjects. Edison Computech’s All Grades results are 93% in ELA, 75% in mathematics and 70% in science—43, 37 and 34 percentage points above state results. Manchester Gate posts 84%, 75% and 72%, beating state by 35, 37 and 36 points. Among high schools with 11th-grade scores, Design Science Middle College High leads in all three subjects, at 85% ELA, 54% mathematics and 56% science. At the lower end, Heaton Elementary is 35 points below state in ELA and 30 points below in mathematics; Vinland Elementary is 31 points below state in science. SchoolDigger ranks Edison Computech at the 99th percentile and Manchester Gate at the 96th percentile in their school levels.
Results improved in the eight-school comprehensive high school comparison from 2024–25 to 2025–26: average proficiency rose by 4 points in ELA, 5 in mathematics and 8 in science, narrowing the group’s gaps with state results in every subject. SchoolDigger rankings also moved in different directions: Bullard Talent gained 10 percentile points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while Hamilton Elementary fell 17. Income and class-size figures provide context, not a simple guide to results: Malloch Elementary reported 53% free/reduced lunch eligible, school year 2024–25, and a 28.1 student–teacher ratio at high-performing Manchester Gate contrasts with lower-scoring schools with smaller ratios. Sunnyside and Bullard High also had graduation rates of 97% and 97%, above the state’s 88%. The supplied records cover only a subset of district schools, and results from different school types and grade spans are not always directly comparable.
