Summary

Tehipite Middle is a public school serving about 480 students in grades 7 and 8 in the Fresno Unified School District, located in a high-poverty area where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of all California middle schools, with particularly low proficiency in mathematics, especially for 8th graders. The school has a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, though this has improved from much higher levels in recent years. It's notable that Tehipite Middle spends more per student than any of the nearby schools in its district, yet has among the lowest academic outcomes, highlighting a complex relationship between funding and results.

When compared to other schools in the area, Edison Computech, also in Fresno Unified, stands out with dramatically higher test scores and much lower absenteeism, despite having lower per-student spending. Within its peer group, schools like Elizabeth Terronez Middle and Tioga Middle show varying performance, but Tehipite's recent slight improvement in its statewide ranking suggests some positive momentum may be beginning.

I rate tehippiti so low because they are no help with harassment and bullying at school. They go through the motions but nothing productive or solvent comes of it. My kid no longer enjoys school, she can't concentrate on her learning because the constant harassment in class. Teachers act like they don't hear a thing. It's ridiculous. I'm scared for my daughter, she's been punched in the back, hit with rulers, and thrown to the ground..help Close Quote

This is unfortunately one of the schools if you dare call it school, I would liken it more to a detention center. From enrollment to withdrawal it is a sad experience. Most staff is on a self preservation Mode coupled with indifference. One need to be an adrenaline junkie to appreciate this environment. Maybe 10% can glean a sustainable day out of it. We would not recommend to the Normal person. No. Close Quote
