Summary
Crescent View West Public Charter is a Fresno, California, school serving grades 9–12, with 1,703 students. Its reported outcomes point to serious challenges beyond academics: in 2023–2024, 16% of students graduated, compared with 86% statewide, while 37% dropped out, compared with 9% statewide. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism, which climbed to 65% in 2024–2025 as the state rate was 19%.
Academically, science is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and nearby schools, while math is its clearest weakness. In 2024–2025, 27% were proficient in science, versus 33% statewide and a nearby-school average of 30%; the school’s result was 4 points below that local average. Math proficiency was 6%, versus 37% statewide, and was second-lowest among nine nearby schools with results; only Carter G. Woodson Public Charter was lower. ELA proficiency was 36%, 13 points below the state and 17 points below the nearby-school average of 53%. The school’s district test results are not provided, so a district comparison is unavailable.
Recent test results show some improvement, but not a narrowing of the school’s overall state gaps: ELA and science rose from 2023–2024 to 2024–2025, while math edged down; across the three years, the state gap widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger places the school at the 28th percentile statewide, with one star, for 2024–2025; only Woodson ranks lower among the nine nearby schools with a ranking. The student-teacher ratio was 27:1, the highest locally, and 90% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s group-specific statewide rankings also stand out: multi-racial students ranked at the 1st percentile, compared with the school’s overall 28th percentile, and special education students ranked at the 7th percentile, down from the 25th percentile the prior year. These rankings suggest the school’s results for those groups are especially low relative to other schools serving the same groups.
