Summary

Lane Elementary serves 555 students in grades K–6 in Fresno, California, as part of Fresno Unified. The school’s most important challenge is low English language arts proficiency: in 2025–2026, 22% of students were proficient, compared with 40% in the district, 49% statewide and a 39% average at ten nearby schools.

Math is Lane’s strongest of the three core subjects relative to district and state results, but it remains behind nearby schools: 23% were proficient, versus 29% in the district, 38% statewide and 32% at nearby schools. Science proficiency was 14%, below the district’s 24%, the state’s 36% and the nearby average of 20%. Lane’s clearest grade-level strength was grade 3 math, at 42%, above the district’s 39%; in grades 4–6, math proficiency ranged from 14% to 18%. A separate bright spot was grade 4 CSA Spanish, where 25% met the overall benchmark, above the district’s 20% and state’s 14%.

Results show limited sustained improvement: ELA was essentially unchanged from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while math rose 3 percentage points overall after peaking in 2023–2024, and science rose 8 points from a very low starting level. SchoolDigger ranked Lane 4,990th of 5,804 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 14th percentile with one star; its percentile fell 22 points from 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for English Language Learner Students reached the 67th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 36th percentile that year, indicating stronger relative standing in serving this group. Lane reported 95% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and its student–teacher ratio was 16 in 2024–2025, lower than the nearby-school average of 19.8. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 58% in 2021–2022 to 24% in 2025–2026, though the latest rate remained above the state’s 18%.

Open Quote Great faculty. Friendly and energetic. Teachers at Lane are some of the best my kids have had. Their computer lab is the best. My kids really like the after school program and a computer program they call GEE GEE. Close Quote
