Summary

King Elementary is a 566-student school serving kindergarten through grade 6 in Fresno, within Fresno Unified. Its most important takeaway is that achievement is well below district and state levels in all three tested subjects, with science the clearest concern: in 2025–2026, 9% of students were proficient in science, compared with 24% districtwide and 36% statewide.

Among King and seven nearby K–5 or K–6 schools with results that year, King ranked third-lowest in both ELA and math and lowest in science. Its results were 25% in ELA, 20% in math, and 9% in science—about 11, 13, and 18 percentage points below the nearby-school averages, respectively. Math was King’s strongest subject relative to the district and state, with gaps of 9 and 18 points; ELA was relatively strongest against nearby-school averages. Still, King trailed the district by 15 points in ELA and science, and the state by 24 points in ELA and 27 in science.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 7 points and its gap with the state narrowed by 4 points, while science fell 4 points and its state gap widened by 10 points. Math rose 3 points, but its gap with both the district and state widened. SchoolDigger ranks King 5,051st of 5,804 statewide, at the 13th percentile with one star; its percentile has recovered from 7 last year but remains near the bottom of the local group. Context includes a 22.4:1 student–teacher ratio and 98% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, both high among nearby schools reporting those measures. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking for African American students was at the 35th percentile, above King’s 13th-percentile overall standing. Its latest supplied English Language Learner ranking is older: 53rd percentile in 2023–2024, versus the school’s 13th-percentile overall ranking that year.
