Summary

Bullard High is a large, traditional public high school serving grades 9-12 with about 2,485 students in the Fresno Unified School District, which has a 2-star state rating.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture: it excels in English Language Arts, outperforming both the district and state averages, but faces significant challenges in math and science proficiency. A standout strength is its exceptional program for English Language Learners, which ranks in the state's top tier. However, the school's overall academic performance, particularly in math, is lower than that of some nearby specialized schools like Design Science Middle College High and Phillip J Patino School of Entrepreneurship, despite serving a similar student population with economic needs.

Despite these academic challenges, Bullard High achieves a very high graduation rate of 94.8% and a very low dropout rate, both of which are better than the district and state averages and outperform other comprehensive high schools in the area like Fresno High and Herbert Hoover High. This success in keeping students on track to graduate is notable, though the school does face a moderate issue with chronic student absenteeism. Recent trends show a slight decline in the school's statewide ranking, suggesting a need to address core academic subjects while maintaining its supportive environment.
