Summary

Starr Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 336 students in the Fresno Unified School District, located in Fresno, CA, that has shown impressive long-term improvement in its statewide ranking over the past decade.

The school's standout strength is in mathematics, where over 57% of students are proficient, significantly outperforming the Fresno Unified district average of 27% and nearby schools like Figarden Elementary (36%). Starr also maintains better student attendance than most surrounding schools and benefits from higher per-student funding, which supports a lower student-teacher ratio. Interestingly, Starr performs comparably to Nelson Elementary in the higher-ranked Clovis Unified district and outperforms another Clovis school, Pinedale Elementary.

Areas for attention include science proficiency, which is below the state average and saw a recent decline, and performance in 5th grade, which is weaker than in other grades. While the school's overall ranking dipped slightly this year, its strong recovery in student attendance since the pandemic and its consistent, above-average math results are positive signs for families.
