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.
