Summary

West Fresno Middle is a Fresno, California, school in Washington Unified, serving grades 6–8 with 296 students. Its standout positive is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 20% and California’s 18%. But academic proficiency is the central concern: in that same year, only 26% of students were proficient in English language arts, 16% in math and 13% in science, all below district and state rates.

Math is the school’s strongest relative subject, though results remain low compared with nearby schools. West Fresno ranked 7th of 10 schools in math and 8th of 10 in both ELA and science; its math results were 23 percentage points below the state and 5 below the district, while ELA was 24 points below the state and 9 below the district. Science was 23 points below the state and 10 below the district. Edison Computech is a nearby high-performing outlier. West Fresno’s 11% chronic absenteeism rate was lower than every nearby school except Edison Computech, at 6%; the next-lowest nearby rate was 27%.

Scores have improved unevenly since 2022–2023: ELA rose 1 percentage point and math rose 3, while science fell 1 point. Even so, the state gaps widened by 1 point in ELA, 1 in math and 7 in science over that period. SchoolDigger placed West Fresno in the 13th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, with 1 star; its percentile was 17 in 2022–2023 and 14 in 2023–2024. The school had the nearby group’s lowest student–teacher ratio, 16.3:1, and the smallest enrollment, but those figures do not explain its scores. It reported 94% free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves special education students was at the 42nd percentile in 2024–2025, compared with its overall 13th percentile. Its ranking for English learner students fell from the 38th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 11th in 2023–2024.
