Summary

W.E.B. DuBois Public Charter is a small, K-12 public charter school in Fresno, California, serving 286 students within its own W.E.B. DuBois Public Charter District and characterized by a very high level of student economic need.

The school serves a student population where nearly every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a level of economic need higher than most similar schools in the area, such as Yosemite Valley Charter or Sierra Charter. It invests significant resources, spending over $21,000 per student, which is among the highest rates for local alternative schools. While its academic proficiency rates on state tests are below California averages, they are not the lowest among peers; for example, they are higher than schools like Alice M. Worsley or Big Picture Educational Academy. A notable bright spot is 5th-grade math, where proficiency exceeds the state average.

W.E.B. DuBois's most standout recent result is its 100% graduation rate for 2023-2024, which outperforms many nearby alternatives. However, this rate has varied greatly from year to year. The school faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism (about 24%), though this is lower than several other local alternative schools. When compared to the wider landscape, the school's story is one of high investment and a strong recent focus on graduation, while academic results and consistent attendance remain areas for growth compared to top-performing alternatives like Central Online Home.
