Summary

Addams Elementary serves 748 students in grades K–6 in Fresno, California. It is one of the larger schools among its nearby peers: only Hamilton Elementary has more students. In 2025–2026, Addams’ all-grades proficiency rates were 28% in English language arts, 20% in math, and 12% in science. The most important takeaway is that Addams scored below Fresno Unified and California in all three subjects.

Math is Addams’ strongest subject relative to the district and state: its results were 10 percentage points below the district and 18 below California, compared with gaps of 12 and 21 points in English language arts, and 12 and 24 points in science. Science is the clearest weakness among nearby schools, too: Addams ranked last of eight nearby schools with science results, and its 12% proficiency was 11 points below their average. Its English language arts and math results were also below nearby averages—31% and 25%, respectively—and Addams ranked sixth of nine schools in both subjects.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023: English language arts rose 11 percentage points, math 5, and science 5. The English language arts gap with California narrowed by 8 points, though it remains substantial. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 65% in 2021–2022 to 29% in 2025–2026; the latest rate is still 11 points above the state and 2 above the district. SchoolDigger ranked Addams at the 16th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with 1 star; the district was at the 34th percentile and 2 stars. Addams’ student-teacher ratio was 21.7:1 in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 18.3:1. That year, 96% of Addams students were eligible for free/reduced lunch. One notable historical bright spot: SchoolDigger placed Addams at the 58th percentile for English Language Learner students in 2023–2024, versus the school’s overall 11th percentile that year.
