Summary

Career Technical Education Charter is a 289-student high school serving grades 9–12 in Fresno, California. In 2025–2026, its students’ proficiency was 67% in English language arts (ELA), 45% in math, and 58% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38%, and 36%. The school also exceeded the Fresno Unified benchmarks of 40%, 29%, and 24%. The most important takeaway is that the school outperformed both comparison benchmarks in all three subjects, with its clearest strength in science.

Compared with five nearby schools with reported scores, the school was above their averages by 6 points in ELA, 24 in math, and 28 in science. It ranked third in ELA, second in math, and first in science: Design Science Middle College High scored higher in ELA and math, while Phillip J Patino School of Entrepreneurship also scored higher in ELA. Other outcomes are encouraging: the graduation rate was 97% versus 88% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 15% versus 18% statewide.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, though not steadily: ELA rose 3 points, math 14, and science 8 by 2025–2026, after all three peaked in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger ranks the school 316th of 2,137 California schools, at the 85th percentile with four stars; its district, Career Technical Education Charter District, is at the 90th percentile with five stars. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 12.5, compared with a 19.4 average at nearby schools excluding Fulton. The school’s 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 47%, below the 63.8%–94.5% range at nearby schools. One notable subgroup trend: SchoolDigger’s effectiveness percentile for White students climbed from 67 in 2021–2022 to 94 in 2023–2024, while the school’s overall percentile rose from 78 to 95.
