Summary

Muir Elementary is a 469-student school serving grades K–6 in Fresno, part of Fresno Unified. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 26% in English language arts (ELA), 15% in math and 15% in science—below district rates of 40%, 29% and 24%, and state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. Math is the clearest concern: sixth-grade math proficiency was just 2%, versus 32% districtwide and 37% statewide, the lowest result among nearby schools with sixth-grade data.

Compared with nearby schools, Muir was below the peer average in all three subjects: 26% versus 32% in ELA, 15% versus 27% in math and 15% versus 22% in science. ELA was closest to the nearby average; math was farthest below it. There is a brighter grade-level result: fifth-grade ELA was 41%, slightly above the district’s 40%, although below the state’s 49%. Absenteeism has improved substantially, falling from 64% in 2021–2022 to 37% in 2025–2026, but remains above the district’s 27% and state’s 18%. Only Heaton Elementary had higher chronic absenteeism among the nearby schools with latest data.

Recent achievement trends are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 2 percentage points and science rose 4, while math fell 6; in the latest year, ELA and math declined while science increased. SchoolDigger ranks Muir 5,091st of 5,804 California schools, in the 12th percentile with one star; its percentile had risen to 25 the prior year. The reported student–teacher ratio was 18.2 in 2024–2025, and 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—both figures offer context, not an explanation for results. One historical SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: in 2018–2019, the school ranked in the 49th percentile (two stars) for how well it served Disabled Students, compared with the 9th percentile overall that year; the supplied data has no later result for this group.

Open Quote Observers who obsereve subs here are racist. I was subing here and an observer made up lies against my teaching skills. As an asian male sub, she was racist and rude to me. Its the observers that make the student fail. I will no longer sub here because of how they treat their subs. Close Quote
