Summary
Kepler Neighborhood is a K–8 school serving 301 students in Fresno, California, in the Kepler Neighborhood District. Its results vary by grade, with some elementary grades doing well and sixth grade standing out as a concern. Overall, the latest results show a mixed picture: Kepler is above nearby-school averages in all three tested subjects, but below California’s averages in each.
Third- and fifth-grade results are notable strengths: third-grade ELA was 53%, 9 points above the state, and fifth-grade ELA was 65%, 16 points above. Sixth grade is the clearest weakness: ELA was 28%, 20 points below the state, while math was 14%, 23 points below. Across all grades, Kepler’s proficiency was 43% in ELA, 35% in math, and 31% in science—about 7, 3, and 7 points above nearby-school averages, respectively, but 6, 3, and 5 points below state rates. No Kepler district-level test scores were supplied, so a district comparison is not available.
Results have improved over time: since 2022–2023, proficiency has risen by 6 points in ELA, 16 in math, and 15 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 26th percentile (1 star) in 2021–2022 to the 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026, placing Kepler third among the 10 nearby schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14, the lowest in that group; 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with 86%–98% at nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism has also fallen, from 42% in 2022–2023 to 28% in 2025–2026, but remains above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Kepler serves students with low socioeconomic status rose to the 62nd percentile, up from 40 the prior year. Its measure for Hispanic students climbed to the 49th percentile from 31, a sharp recent increase.
