Summary

Powers-Ginsburg Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 421 students in the Fresno Unified district, located in a community where the majority of families face economic challenges.

When compared to other local schools with similar high-need student populations, Powers-Ginsburg stands out for performing better academically. For instance, it achieves higher statewide rankings than nearby Deborah A. Williams Elementary and Wilson Elementary. The school shows particular strength in science, where its proficiency rates exceed the district average and those of many neighbors like Del Mar Elementary and Roeding Elementary. It also manages student attendance more effectively than several comparable schools, with a lower chronic absenteeism rate.

The school invests more money per student than many others in the district, which appears to correlate with these stronger outcomes for its community. A notable bright spot is sixth-grade performance, where students excel, especially in English Language Arts. However, the school faces significant challenges in supporting English Language Learners and students in Special Education, whose academic outcomes lag. While the school's overall performance is in the middle range for the state, its ability to achieve these results while serving a high-need community is a relative strength compared to its immediate neighbors.
