Summary

American Union Elementary serves grades K–8 and enrolls 265 students in Fresno, California. In 2025–2026, its SchoolDigger standing was at the 49th percentile, with 2 stars, but its results varied by subject. The most important concern is science: 17% of students were proficient, 19 percentage points below the state and 5 points below the district.

Math is the school’s strongest subject in comparison with nearby schools and its district. About 37% were proficient, 16 points above the district and 10 points above the nearby-school average; this was the second-highest supplied all-grades result, behind Sunset Elementary. Math was still 2 points below the state. ELA was also ahead of the district and nearby-school average—42%, compared with 34% and 36%—but 8 points below the state. Grade results show why all-grades figures don’t tell the whole story: third-grade math was 56%, 9 points above the state, while fourth- and fifth-grade ELA were 14 and 19 points below state results. Science was below the nearby-school average as well as the district and state.

Since 2022–2023, results have risen overall: ELA gained 8 percentage points, math 6, and science 10, although science fell from 28% in 2024–2025 to 17% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has moved from 43 in 2021–2022 to 49 in 2025–2026, above the Washington Unified district’s 21st percentile. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.3, the second-lowest among nearby schools with reported figures. In that year, 73% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest rate among nearby schools reporting that same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 77th percentile in 2021–2022, versus the school’s overall 43rd percentile that year, a notably stronger relative standing; its Male Students ranking then rose from the 20th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 50th in 2025–2026.
