Summary

Sequoia Middle is a Fresno Unified school in Fresno, California, serving 829 students in grades 7–8 amid nearby schools with widely varying results; its most important challenge is that proficiency is below district and state averages in English, math, and science.

Math is Sequoia’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 22% of students are proficient, ranking third among 10 schools and above the nearby median of 18%, though still below the district’s 29% and California’s 38%. ELA proficiency is 33%, fourth among the 10 and just above the nearby median of 31%; it remains below the district’s 40% and the state’s 49%. Science is the clearest weakness: 13% proficiency ranks seventh and falls below the nearby median of 15%, the district’s 24%, and the state’s 36%. The school’s gaps to the state are about 16 points in ELA and math and 23 points in science.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: proficiency rose 5 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 6 in science, but the state gaps narrowed by only 2 points in ELA, 2 in math, and less than 1 point in science. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 24th percentile statewide, with 1 star. Chronic absenteeism fell 13 points, from 46% in 2021–2022 to 33% in 2025–2026, but remains above the district’s 27% and California’s 18%. For context, its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 95%, and its student–teacher ratio was 18.9, matching the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show stronger statewide standing for English Language Learner Students, at the 59th percentile in 2023–2024 versus 26th for the school overall; Migrant Students ranked at the 49th percentile in 2025–2026, up from 14 the year before, compared with the school’s overall 24th percentile.
