Summary

Pyle Elementary is a K–6 school serving 647 students in Fresno, California, within Fresno Unified. Its 2025–26 proficiency results remain below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, though they have improved in all three subjects since 2022–23. The most urgent concern is attendance: 40% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, the highest rate among the nine nearby Fresno Unified schools with results and well above the state’s 18%.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with the district, while ELA is its clearest weakness. In 2025–26, 31% of students were proficient in math, just above the district’s 29% but below the state’s 38%; Pyle ranked fifth among the ten schools in the nearby comparison. ELA proficiency was 29%, compared with 40% for the district and 49% statewide, placing Pyle eighth of ten nearby schools. Science proficiency was 22%, about 1 point below the district and 14 points below the state, but Pyle ranked fourth nearby. Grade-level results show a similar contrast: third-grade math was 49%, above the district’s 39% and the state’s 47%, while sixth-grade proficiency was 23% in ELA and 11% in math, the lowest among the nearby schools with those results.

Results are rising, and the gaps to the state have narrowed: since 2022–23, proficiency has increased by 13 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 18 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 7th percentile to the 30th percentile, with a 1-star rating in 2025–26; Fresno Unified was at the 34th percentile and 2 stars. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 18.7, around the middle of the nearby range, and 94% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 12th percentile, compared with 30th overall; its ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 33rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 16th in 2025–26.
