Summary

Bullard High is a Fresno Unified school in Fresno, California, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 2,485 students. Its academic results are uneven: English language arts (ELA) is a clear strength, while math and science remain below state proficiency levels. The most important finding for families is that strong ELA results do not carry across subjects: Bullard is well above the state in ELA but still below it in both math and science.

In 2025–2026, Bullard’s ELA proficiency was 68%, compared with 49% statewide and 40% in Fresno Unified; it also ranked third among six nearby schools with results that year. Its 68% was 15 percentage points above the nearby-school average of 53%. Math proficiency was 26%—12 points below the state and 4 below the district—but ranked second among those six schools and was 4 points above their 22% average. Science proficiency was 27%, 9 points below the state but 4 above the district; it ranked fourth among the six and was 3 points below their 30% average. So ELA stands out locally, while science trails nearby peers and math remains a substantial gap to the state.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023: ELA gained 13 percentage points, math 9, and science 3. Math’s shortfall against the state narrowed from 18 to 12 points, while science’s widened from 6 to 9. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing improved from the 45th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to the 60th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026. Completion is another strength: the 2025–2026 graduation rate was 97%, versus 91% in the district and 88% statewide. However, chronic absenteeism was 28%, compared with 18% statewide. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 21.3:1, and 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well schools serve Asian students placed Bullard at the 9th percentile in 2025–2026, far below its overall 60th-percentile standing; its Special Education Students ranking rose from the 29th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 72nd in 2025–2026.
