In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency was 46% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math and 25% in science, below state averages in all three subjects. The clearest concern is science: proficiency was 11 percentage points below the state and 27 points below the district.

Compared with nearby schools, Fancher Creek was below their average proficiency in ELA by 3 points, math by 5 and science by 5. Math was its strongest subject relative to the state and district: it was 2 points below the state and 19 below the district, while the ELA gaps were 3 and 23 points and the science gaps were 11 and 27. Results also vary by grade. Third-grade ELA and math were 2 and 1 point above state averages, respectively, and fourth-grade ELA was also above the state; in contrast, fifth-grade math was 9 points below the state, and sixth-grade ELA was 6 points below.

Its statewide group rankings differed sharply: Hispanic students ranked at the 72nd percentile, above the school’s overall standing, while Asian students ranked at the 10th percentile, well below it. These rankings reflect SchoolDigger’s measures of how well the school serves each group.
